UPSIDE-DOWN FRUIT CAKE
Whatever your perception of fruit cake is, turn it upside down and inside out, because this is not the rock-hard loaf that's been passed around since times eternal. This version includes all the best of the classic ingredients-brandy, dried fruit, nuts, molasses and warming spices-just rejiggered into a cake that's soft, tender-crumbed and completely irresistible, if we do say so ourselves. It begins by combining dried cherries, apricots and pecans with melted butter and brown sugar. These ingredients go into the pan first and get topped with batter, because this fruit cake is also an upside-down cake. When it's turned out of its pan, the fruits and nuts are glossy, gooey and caramelized, which makes this cake so pretty that it really only needs a dollop of whipped cream to be complete. If you're ready to turn tradition on its head, give this modern take on fruit cake a try!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray; line bottom with cooking parchment paper.
- In medium bowl, stir 1/3 cup melted butter, 1/3 cup brown sugar and the water until well blended. Stir in dried fruit and pecans to coat evenly. Pour into pan, and spread in an even layer; set aside.
- In small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt; set aside. In large bowl, beat 1/3 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, about 1 minute or until fluffy. Beat in molasses. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. In small bowl, mix milk and brandy. On low speed, beat in one-third of the flour mixture, then half of milk mixture, beating well after each addition, just until smooth. Repeat with flour mixture and milk, ending with flour mixture. Scrape side of bowl occasionally. Pour and spread batter over dried fruit mixture in pan. Tap cake pan on counter 2 to 3 times to eliminate air bubbles from batter.

STAR FRUIT UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
We were pleasantly surprised to find that star fruit tastes a lot like apple in this star-studded cake. So we drifted toward warm fall spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. The tropical fruit is packed with fiber and vitamin C, not to mention making the cake a conversation starter!

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan.
- For the topping: Melt the butter, brown sugar and lemon juice together in a microwave-safe small bowl in the microwave. Spread the mixture over the bottom of the prepared pan. Cover it with the starfruit slices by nestling them next to one another and overlapping (it will look crowded). Set aside.
- For the cake: Spread the pecans out on a baking sheet, and bake until nicely toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then pulse in a food processor until finely ground. Whisk together the ground pecans, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt and allspice. Set aside.
- Beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition. Scrape down the side of the bowl as needed. Adjust the mixer speed to low, and add half the flour mixture, then the yogurt, then the remaining flour.
- Pour the batter into the pan, spread it out into an even layer and give it a few taps on the counter. Bake until golden brown, a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean in the center and the cake pulls away from the edges, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack until the pan is cool enough to handle, then run a knife along the edge and invert the cake onto a serving platter. Let cool completely before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use a little butter to grease a 9-inch round springform pan, then line the base with parchment paper. Wrap the base of the pan with aluminum foil.
- Halve and pit the plums, then cut each half into 3 wedges. Toss them with 4 tablespoons light-brown sugar.
- Arrange the fruit in the bottom of the pan in neat rings. They must be in a single layer. Make sure you add all the sugar.
- Put the butter in a mixing bowl with the dry ingredients, sour cream, eggs, and almond extract.
- Use an electric mixer to beat everything to a smooth, fairly thick cake batter. Spoon the batter on top of the fruit, then smooth the top. Bake until the cake is golden and has risen, 55 minutes to 1 hour. A skewer should come out clean when inserted in the center. Run an icing spatula or table knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake, then let cool on a cooling rack.
- Serve the cake warm. If you need to reheat it, cover it loosely with foil and warm in a low oven for 15 minutes.
