I’ve been eying this recipe for a while, but now I have to make it. I wonder if replacing some OJ with lime and/or adding lime zest would be nice. For some reason, I’ve had cranberry-lime in my head.
I think lime would be really good. That then leads me to wonder if it might also be nice to add a little cornmeal to the cake? could be interesting. Let me know!
Just finished scraping the crumbs off the plate of my first slice. How delightful. I used whole wheat pastry flour, and lime instead of orange juice, and almond milk for the whole milk and it is fantastic! Thanks for the inspiration, happy cranberry season. :)
I made this today and it was AMAZING! This will definitely become a holiday favorite.
The only change I made was adding the zest of one orange into the cake batter. Next time I may try 3/4c sugar in the cake batter, just to take down the sweetness a bit.
Thanks so much for posting :-)
This was sooooo good! I just had my first slice with vanilla ice cream and loved every bite. It was the perfect balance of sweet, tart and buttery flavors. Thanks!

I LOVE upside down cake recipes. I made several different kinds all summer but this looks like a wonderful version for fall! And SO beautiful!!

Fantastic idea. I’ve been looking for more recipes to try with cranberries. Take the berry beyond the sauce!

I just made this and it’s fantastic! I was even able to get a piece for myself after the kids helped themselves.

This recipe works better in a glass pan. It allows the sugar and cranberries to caramelize better than an iron skillet. Give it a try!
