CRANBERRY-ALMOND UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
These festive -- and flourless -- little loaves are made with ground almonds for a nutty, slightly sweet flavor. Cooking the cranberries with cane sugar tempers their pucker and renders them nice and syrupy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush four 3-by-6-inch loaf pans with butter; set aside. In a small saucepan, cook cranberries and 2 tablespoon sugar over medium heat, stirring, until cranberries begin to pop, about 6 minutes. Pour among pans, evenly covering bottoms with cranberries.
- In a small bowl, whisk together almonds, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, beat butter and remaining sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each, and vanilla. Add almond mixture and stir until combined.
- Pour batter over cranberries into pans and gently smooth tops with an offset spatula. Place pans on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until loaves are golden brown and a tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then run an offset spatula around the edges of the pans and invert cakes onto a wire rack, cranberry side up.

CRANBERRY UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
The secret to getting the fruit sweet and caramelized in this glistening jewel-like cake is letting it bake and bubble in the cake pan before adding the batter. Since you use only one bowl, cleanup is a breeze.

Steps:
- For the cranberries: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a cooling rack in a rimmed baking sheet. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round cake pan with butter. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment and butter the parchment.
- Mix the cranberries, butter, sugar, orange zest and juice in the prepared cake pan until well coated. (The butter will start to clump up from the cold fruit, and that is okay.) Bake until the cranberries are very soft and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes.
- For the cake: Meanwhile, beat the butter, sugar, cream, eggs, vanilla and almond extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until combined.
- Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the cake batter on top of the cranberries and smooth out the top with a rubber spatula (the juice from the cranberries will float on top of the cake a little). Tap the pan on the counter three times to evenly distribute the batter. Bake until the cake is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 65 to 70 minutes.
- Cool the cake on the prepared rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack and remove the parchment. Put any cranberries that fall off or that stick to the pan on top of the cake. Let cool completely on the rack, about 1 hour. Brush the top with the honey and dollop whipped cream in the center of the cake before serving.

FRESH CRANBERRY UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
Amazingly good cranberry upside-down cake - the first time I made it, I forgot the part where you add the egg whites and it still came out good. But much better with the egg whites. My friend gave this recipe to me and I had it for a while, then I saw a bunch of fresh cranberries on sale so I decided to make it.

CRANBERRY/ALMOND LOAF
Every year, The Dairy Farmers of Canada sponsor the printing and distribution of (what Canadians affectionately call) The Milk Calendar. Each page, starting with December of the previous year (in case you missed it), is a beautiful photograph, in colour, of a recipe for the month, and the applicable recipe neatly printed beside the photo. This year (2008), I started in December, because I love to bake "loaves" and this loaf is particularly appealing. Quoting directly, they say: "Moist, studded with fruit and nuts and made in one bowl - what more can you ask? A slice of this sweet loaf is perfect with a cup of tea or cafe latte..." Cooking Tip: *To sour Milk, spoon 2 tbsp (30 mL) lemon juice or white vinegar into measuring cup; pour in enough Milk to make 1 1/2 cups (375mL). Let it stand for 5 mins. then stir. For the Adventurous: replace half the cranberries with chopped dried apricots and use hazelnuts instead of almonds. Healthy Eating Tip: Don't deprive yourself of delicious baked goods over the holiday season. Forbidden foods will tantalize you all the more. Instead, choose modest-sized servings and savour the flavour. Allergy alert: If there is an aversion to nuts, simply eliminate the nuts and increase cranberries, or add raisins, or other chopped, dried fruit. You will like the combination. Butter substitution: Margarine, Vegetable Oil; Olive Oil: Unsweetened Apple Sauce, in the same measurement

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in center. Butter an 8-by-2-inch round cake pan. Line with a parchment circle cut to fit the 8-inch bottom, and butter the parchment. Coat with flour, tapping out excess; set aside. In a large skillet, heat 6 tablespoons butter over medium heat until sizzling. Add cranberries and toss to coat, about 1 minute.
- Add maple syrup and cinnamon to skillet. Cook, stirring gently, just until cranberries begin to burst, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cranberries to the prepared pan. Return skillet with syrup to medium heat, and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour syrup over cranberries; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt; set aside. Place remaining 6 tablespoons butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Crumble in almond paste, and beat on medium speed until smooth and combined, about 30 seconds.
- With mixer running, gradually add 3/4 cup sugar to butter mixture; beat until creamy. Add yolks, beat until combined. Beat in vanilla extract. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk. Set batter aside.
- In a clean mixing bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and beat until soft peaks form. Whisk 1/3 of the egg whites into batter, and then fold in the remaining whites.
