Cranberry Pecan Upside-Down Cake image

At our house, cranberries are a favorite. I made this dessert for the first time in the 1990s. It started out as a pineapple upside down cake-I just changed a few things around! It keeps and travels well, so it's perfect for taking to church dinners. And we love to share it with our son and grandchildren. -Doris Heath, Franklin, North Carolina

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I actually really enjoyed this cake. The sweetness of the pecans and the tartness of the cranberries balanced each other out perfectly.

This cake is a great make-ahead dessert. You can make it a day or two in advance and it will still be just as delicious.

I've tried other cranberry upside-down cakes before, but this one is by far the best. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the topping is the perfect combination of tart and sweet.
