Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup butter
2 cups white sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (12 ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries
1 ½ cups cake flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9 inch springform pan. Wrap aluminum foil around the outside of the bottom to prevent leaking.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of white sugar, water and cinnamon until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil and then add the cranberries. Stir to coat with the sauce, then pour into the prepared pan.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a medium bowl, beat the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter with 1/2 cup white sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and sour cream. Mix in the dry ingredients. Pour the batter over the cranberries in the pan.
  • Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the outer edge. Invert onto a serving plate and remove the springform pan.

FRESH CRANBERRY UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Fresh Cranberry Upside-Down Cake image

Amazingly good cranberry upside-down cake - the first time I made it, I forgot the part where you add the egg whites and it still came out good. But much better with the egg whites. My friend gave this recipe to me and I had it for a while, then I saw a bunch of fresh cranberries on sale so I decided to make it.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter
¾ pound fresh cranberries
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 eggs, separated, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup milk
⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup heavy cream
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • Place brown sugar and butter into the prepared pan and place the pan over medium heat. Heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and sugar has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Scatter cranberries over the butter-sugar mixture. Set aside.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat white sugar and butter together in another bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Fold in the flour mixture in 3 additions using a silicone or rubber spatula, alternating with milk.
  • Beat egg whites in another bowl using a whisk or an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add cream of tartar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into the batter using a spatula. Spoon batter over the cranberries in the cake pan, spreading evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Invert onto a serving plate, let stand for 5 minutes, then lift off pan.
  • Whip heavy cream in a bowl using a whisk or an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Cut the cooled cake into wedges and top with whipped cream.
