Delicious Cranberry Upside Down Cake Recipe

Upside down cakes are somewhat of a fascination around here. We like our pineapple variation (the most requested cake at our family events), and my dad is understood for attempting every upside down cake dish he sees.

He gave this cranberry cake his seal of approval, by coming back for more, after I sent him home with half the cake.
