Cranberry Upside - Down Cake
"I saw the origianl recipe in a Quick Cooking magazine. It called for fresh or frozen cranberries. I perfer the dried ones, but anyone can surely change it up a bit too. I've been making this cake every Holiday season now for about 4 years. It's always a huge hit. The cranberries make it look so festive, and taste oh so good. I've had many request for this recipe and I hope you enjoy it too!!"

I made this cake for my office christmas party. I could not beleive the taste of this cake. It well over so well I found myself making copies of this recipe for everyone before I left. The only thing I did differently is I used dried cranberries that had cherry flavored added. Sadly to say there were no leftovers to bring home with me. I will definitely be making this with my Christmas dinner. Thank you so much for a great recipe! -
Great cake! very moist and tasty. The only thing I did differently is mix dried and fresh cranberries to the topping. I would definitely make this again.

I am a Southern Belle through and through seeing as my upbringing was in LA........That would be Lower Alabama. I think growing up in a Southern family requires you to know how to make people happy by feeding them. So it became my specialty.

<br>I love to collect recipes. I'm always hitting thrift stores in hopes to find old cookbooks. I may be a little overloaded on the books, but you can never have to many right?

<br>I enjoy going to small little cooking classes when I can.I was able to go to a weekend cooking class in Italy while my family was stationed in the UK. That is where my picture posted here came from. I had such a wonderful experience!

<br>In my spare time I bowl on a couple of leagues. I also had a summer job where I learned to do some beaded jewelry, and it kind of became a liked hobby of mine.
