A Jewel in June

School is out and I am back, eager to return to my blog and share some of my explorations with recipes and food finds! Here is my latest craze – a spectacular upside down cake perfect for a large gathering or potluck (it serves 12 to 19). Taken from one of my favorite sites, the kitchn.com, this recipe is not only visually outstanding, but is delicious as well. I love the glistening jewel tones that the blackberry and nectarines provide. I also threw in some apricots to round out the correct amount of fruit in the recipe. The cake is moist and buttery…it stands out on its own, so I imagine the recipe for the batter should work well with other fruit such as pears…cherries…or even your classical pineapple!

Here’s the link to the recipe:

I started blogging mostly for my sons who kept asking me,"Mom, how do you make...?" I had so much fun that I began to widen my circle to my mother (my greatest model of cooking genius), sisters, greater family in Italy and Mexico, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. An English teacher by profession, I'm always looking for creative outlets to express myself in the kitchen. Having grown up in Rome, Italy of an Italian family and married into an Italian family with ties to Mexico, I'm drawn to both cuisines. Here are my musings, inspirations, creations and food adventures from my kitchen to yours! Salute!
