Old-Fashioned Cuppa Cuppa Cake

Many people first heard about Cuppa Cuppa Cake in the 1989 film Steel Magnolias. In the movie, Truvy Jones, played by Dolly Parton, describes the recipe as ‘a cuppa flour, a cuppa sugar and a cuppa fruit cocktail with the juice.’  While that’s not all that’s in it, it is easy to make and delicious. And as a non-baker, even I can make it.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp Butter or non-dairy substitute
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Sugar 1 Tbsp set aside.
  • 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Milk or non-dairy substitute.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped Peaches or fresh Berries
One 15- ounce can of peaches drained, is about right.

Equipment

  • 8" Pyrex Pie Dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. An 8-inch Pyrex pie dish works best. Melt the butter separately. Use a little to grease the sides of the dish, then pour the remaining melted butter into the bottom.
  2. Whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the milk and vanilla and mix until smooth. Arrange half of the fruit in the pie dish, pour the batter evenly over it, and scatter the remaining fruit on top. Do not stir.
  3. Sprinkle the reserved tablespoon of sugar over the top. Bake at 350°F/175°C for 35 to 45 minutes, checking after 35 minutes. The cake is ready when the center no longer jiggles and the top is golden. If necessary, continue baking for a few additional minutes.
