Cranberry Upside-Down Cake

This Cranberry Upside-Down Cake recipe will make a great addition to your holiday dessert line up! Fresh cranberries are the perfect topping for a delicious upside down cake.

This cranberry cake is an easy recipe and a delicious cake that is perfect for a special occasion such as Thanksgiving or a fall party. It’s made in a spring form pan. The best part is the fruit layer on top, which will have caramelized cranberries (not cranberry sauce!) None of your grocery stores will have a holiday cake as delicious as this one. Another good choice that is similar to this one is my pumpkin cranberry upside down cake.
