Cranberry Upside Down Cake

Yummy is all I can say!  I found this recipe in a cookbook from the 70’s and I am glad.  It will be going in my holiday baking recipe file for sure.

2 Tablespoons Melted Crisco
2/3 c. sugar
dissolve these two together and then pat into the bottom of an 8 x 8 pan.
Sprinkle 2 cups chopped cranberries over the top of the crisco mixture
Sprinkle 1/3 c. sugar over the top of the cranberries.

I had to double the above ingredients because my cake mix was going to make a 9 x 13 cake.  Keep that in mind if you don’t want to make your own cake mix.  The original recipe had a recipe for it’s own cake mix but I have a bunch of old white ones to use up from a wedding cake I had made.

Cover with a white cake mix cake or your own recipe.  Bake at 350 degrees until cake is done.
Invert out onto serving dish.  I had expected it to be a bit runnier with juices but it tasted wonderful all the same!
