To make this Northeastern interpretation of an old-fashioned upside-down cake, cranberries and toasted pecans are topped with buttery batter, and then baked and inverted. The cranberries soften in the oven but the pecans stay crunchy, lending a textural flourish.

    Just made this recipe with frozen cranberries and tasted delicious. It seemed as though there was not enough batter, and it was quite thick, so i couldn't 'pour' it over cranberries. Also, because of this, i could not turn cake upside down, so i has to scoop pieces out with a spoon.... I would suggest doubling the batter or even 1.5 times and it should turn out better.

    I just made this recipe and I love, love, love it. I added some grated orange zest which added a burst of freshness. I plan on trying this recipe using strawberry, rhubarb or blueberry and peach with lemon zest.

    I made this today, having to convert US to UK measures. So far this looks absolutely fabulous in the 9 x 5 inch loaf tin which I lined with parchment.I hardly dare tell you but I used salted peanuts as thats all I had in my cupboard.Other than that I stuck to the recipe / temperature etc. Excellent !!

    I just finished making this recipe and it looks exactly like the picture. I used a 8x8 inch silicone pan. I doubled the recipe! I waited five minutes after I took it out of the oven before I cut around the edges. I waited five more minutes before flipping it over. Came out easily!!! Looks perfect!

    I made this for the first time tonight, and it turned out perfect! I added orange rind and doubled the batter as well. I used the knife to cut around the edge after 5 minutes, then flipped it over after 5 more...and it came out without issue! I also used a 6x9.5 inch pan. It is pretty tart which is nice, but I added an icing sugar and milk drizzle!

    I have made this twice. My husband LOVES it. I did, however, double the cake portion of the recipe as others have suggested. I still had trouble getting it out of the baking dish. Next time I'm going to try the buttered parchment paper as someone suggested. Since I can't get cranberries this time of year, I'm going to bake this cake with blueberries that we will be picking next weekend. We'll see how that turns out.

    Total failure. There is not nearly enough batter to hold this thing together. It ends up a syrupy mess. In fact, the photo is laughable. I'd like to show you what mine looks like. This one needs to go back to the test kitchen.

    This was excellent and my guest loved it, but it was very hard to get out of the pan without breaking.

    I tried this and it's delicious. Textures are wonderful but love the orange zest with it. Thanks for another recipe that works for the family!

    I had trouble with this sticking even after reading the comments and using a little extra butter on the bottom. It was easy to repair and you couldn't even tell it was broken. Tasty!
