Here is the recipe I adapted:

neat!
what do gooseberries taste like? do you think you'll make it again?

>>16387223
Raw they tasted a bit maybe like grapes, with a pulpy but not unpleasant interior texture, but much more sour, and with almost a slightly saline or briny aftertaste.

Cooked the flavor is more uniformly sour, which contrasts with the slightly sweet cake.

>do you think you'll make it again?

I think I would try a different recipe next time, just to change it up. I also tripled the recipe as written due to having a lot of gooseberries, and cooked it at a lower heat than the recipe said to (300F vs 350F) so it wouldn't burn on top and it took maybe 1.5 hours to fully set in the center.

I feel like some kind of cream-layer would enhance this kind of recipe. or just serving it w/ whipped cream or ice cream I suppose.
I wonder if gooseberry could be used in some savory preparation, since you said they were slightly briny raw.

The wikipedia article about it said the name in French is related to it being a traditional sauce for mackerel. I guess it would work well to cut through rich or fatty meats as well.

The only upside-down cake I remember having was the pineapple version. Long ago, though.

>>16388193
compared to gooseberries, rhubarb upside down is more common, yes, pineapple is by far the most common variant of upside down cake

>>16388188

I see you're bumping to keep your gooseberry upside down cake thread alive, OP. Did you pick the gooseberries for your upside down cake yourself?

>>16391367
I got them at a local farmers market.

If you have baked anything lately, maybe you could post it here to make the thread more interesting...
