I am a Bzzagent for Private Selection Upside Down Cakes. It took several weeks for my Fry's (Kroger store) to stock them. I was going every week looking for them. Finally yesterday there they were! I was so excited. I knew ahead of time I was going to try the German Chocolate Upside Down Cake. Not that I don't want to try the others, but I happen to really enjoy German Chocolate the best. I love the coconut, caramel, pecan frosting!
This was super easy to prepare. Take cake out of the box, put on cookie sheet, 325 for 15 minutes, let cool 1-2 minutes, flip on a plate and serve. It came out clean from the pan. It's great served warm with ice cream. Add a few fresh strawberries or nothing at all. The cake itself is moist and not too sweet, rich fudge flavor, the frosting is sweet and gooey goodness, buttery, crunchy from the coconut and pecan. The pecans are not soggy. Overall, this was really tasty. We had leftovers and my daughter just had a piece cold and she said she liked it even better cold. I know I will love it that way too.
This cake is large, serves 8 people easily. The price at my Fry's was 9.99, with a suggested price of 12.99. If you look at it from the perspective of making this yourself, it would probably cost that much to make with all the ingredients, coconut and pecans aren't cheap and also the time you save is worth a few dollars as well. This doesn't disappoint with it's homemade taste and freshness factor. Heating it yourself makes it seem even more homemade. It would be perfect for a BBQ, potluck or a nice dinner at home with friends and family. They also have Amber Honey Apple Spice and Double Chocolate Molten, which sound great and I want to try them soon.
