Dessert - Upside Down Citrus Cake
This recipe is so great because you can change out the citrus for whatever is in season! I love using grapefruit and oranges but you can use whatever you would like. So light and delicious and very impressive. Also, it's not too sweet so even non-desert eaters will be asking for seconds.
