π³ Baking Methods & Techniques
1. Upside-Down Method

Butter and sugar melt together to create a rich, sticky glaze for the strawberries.
3. Gentle Spreading
Spread batter carefully to avoid disturbing the fruit layer.
π History of Upside-Down Cakes
Upside-down cakes became popular in the early 20th century, especially in the United States, with the famous Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. The technique dates back even earlier when cakes were cooked in cast-iron skillets over fire. Fruit-based variations like strawberry versions developed later as seasonal adaptations.
