It was purely by chance that this cake made it into my kitchen. I am not particularly enthusiastic about gingerbread, nor do I tend to make desserts that do not contain any trace of chocolate. I am enthused, however, that my guest of honor who is a fan of both gingerbread and fruit desserts inspired me to bake this upside-down cake. It. Was. Delicious. And pretty! And really not all that bad for you! So if you find yourself in the company of one of those people who doesn’t keep an emergency stash of cocoa products in their purse, car, and desk or if you just feel like taking a bite on the other side, try this cake. I promise even the worst chocoholic won’t be disappointed.

In case you haven’t noticed, I am a big fan of my newest kitchen cabinet member, but its activity has waned since the revelation of my Ode. Now that it is truly getting too cool to waste a second shivering out of doors, why not try it the lazy way like me? You should, would, and can have your pizza and grill it too!

You’ll eat it all week and not tire….try it topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess. This recipe is adapted from one that appeared in Martha Stewart’s Living magazine, tweaked just a bit so as to remain extra healthy as cabbage should be….pair it with a light entrée for the surprising delight of dieting 2.0.
