Cranberry Upside-Down Cake image

The sugar, spices and orange zest make a wonderful syrup as the cake bakes, creating the perfect foil to the tart cranberries. This cake is lovely as the finish to dinner, or a nice mid-morning snack with coffee. Adapted from a recipe in Everyday Food.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the cake batter next time.
