Cranberries aren't all that common in Australia but I was delighted when Sabrina of Superfluous chose Dorie's Cranberry Upside-Downer this week.While we never see fresh cranberries here and the frozen ones make only a brief appearance in December, I knew I had one lonely box left in the freezer. Yay!
There was no way I wasn't going to love this cake. First of all, upside down cakes are fun! I've been making a version with tinned pineapple since I was a child. Secondly it has fruit, nuts and spices. All of which I adore.
The cake is a breeze to make and it looks stunning covered with bright, jewel-toned cranberries and its shiny redcurrant glaze.
Served warm straight from the oven with a scoop of vanilla icecream, this is my idea of heaven.
Thanks for a wonderful pick Sabrina! I will definitely be making this again around Christmas when frozen cranberries next make their appearance. You can find the recipe on Sabrina's blog here.
It looks great Susan. Alas, no cranberries for me, but I went the pineapple!

ReplyDeleteUm yeah, I'd say heaven! Yours looks so delicious. I loved this recipe too, I made it with peaches and raspberries.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky to have a bad in my freezer too. This was so good. I did think it was better the first day though. Love yours.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of cranberries, so I did pineapple.
