It cant be holiday season without a cranberry upside down cake.. can it! And of course we ate most of it.. so just the one slice picture:D This is a cranberry blueberry mix as I love the balance of sweetness with the tart cranberries!

I used up the cranberries for the chutney, now waiting to get some more so I can make the cake again and put up a whole cake picture. or maybe do a step by step!
This cake is from our Thanksgiving spread. Other dishes from the menu
And some others should get posted soon..
 
The cake is mildly sweet, so add a couple of Tablespoons of sugar more if you like your cake nicely sweet.

    Thanks Shireen, you can use other fresh fruits like apples, pear, peaches, pineapples, cherries.. dried fruits wont give the same effect.

    Thanks Radhika!
