Ingredients
 

KUMQUATS

  • 24 kumquats (Washed | Pat Dry | Halved)
  • 4 1/2 Tbsp (60 g) butter (Melted)
  • 1/3 cup (65 g) sugar (Original Recipe calls for 1/2 Cup | 100 g)

CAKE

  • 8 Tbsp (115 g) butter (Melted)
  • 1 1/4 cups (155 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tbsp (45 g) almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp (2 g) baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
  • 1/16 tsp (0.38 g) sea salt
  • 1 egg (At Room Temperature)
  • 4 oz (115 g) Skyr Yogurt (Peach Flavor | Original Recipe calls for Greek Yogurt)
  • 3 Tbsp (45 g) milk (My Personal Addition )

Instructions
 

KUMQUAT PREPARATION

  • Wash and pat dry the kumquats. Then, slice them lengthwise in halves. Set aside.
  • Place butter in a small sauce pan and heat on low until melted. Add the sugar and stir until bubbly. Pour it right away at the bottom of your Medium Round Mold and arrange the kumquats on top (face down).

CAKE PREPARATION

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, sugar and sea salt). Make a well, add the egg, skyr yogurt, milk and cooled melted butter. Gently start mixing inwards going outwards with your mini whisk. Mix until it is all incorporated. 
  • Pour your preparation on top of the kumquats and flatten the batter with your spatula.

BAKE!

  • Bake for 30 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cake from 25 minutes). It is ready when the toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Once your Summer Kumquat Upside Down Cake is out of the oven, let it cool down for 10 minutes. Then, unmold onto your service platter and set aside. Enjoy and Bon Appétit!
