PEAR AND ALMOND UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Have you baked an upside down cake before? I personally love baking them. Baking them is as simple as a regular cake but they’re so much cooler! This pear and almond upside down cake is an absolute delight to bake and eat. The best part is that it’s dairy free. I  use almond milk in the cake instead of dairy milk. So if you’re lactose intolerant, this is the recipe for you.
