Quick Cranberry-Orange Upside-down Cake ( one 9-inch round cake)




1 cup canned whole cranberry sauce*
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons grated orange rind (orange part, or zest, only)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
51/3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup orange juice
1 egg

*Note: If you use homemade cranberry sauce, it is apt to be more liquidy,so
drain the sauce and include an additional 1/4 cup to compensate.

Preheat the oven to 350oF. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan generously with
butter.

Combine the cranberry sauce, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the grated
orange rind, and mix well. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan;
set aside.

Stir together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and
salt in a mixing bowl.

Add the vanilla, butter, orange juice, and egg, and beat until the batter is
thoroughly blended and perfectly smooth. Pour over the cranberries and bake
for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the
cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for
about 5 minutes, then turn it out onto a serving plate, fruit side up. If
any of the cranberries stick to the pan, scoop them out and spread on the
cake. Serve warm, with whipped cream, if you wish.
