This simple cake is a cross between an upside-down cake, and a traditional French clafoutis. It takes only minutes to prepare, and will put a smile on anyone’s face, I promise. Make sure to use the highest quality dairy possible. At Picnic LA, we use all organic Clover milk, and European style Plugra butter, which give our baked goods a ton of extra flavor.  — PICNIC LA Executive Chef, Alex Resnick
