   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1         tablespoon  unsalted butter
   1                cup  light brown sugar
   4               cups  cranberries -- frozen or fresh, washed, picked over
   2 1/2           cups  unbleached all-purpose flour
   1 1/2           cups  brown sugar
   3          teaspoons  baking powder
   1                     lemon -- zest
   1                cup  2% low-fat milk
   2                     eggs
      1/2           cup  applesauce
      1/4           cup  extra-light-tasting olive oil
      1/2      teaspoon  vanilla extract
      1/2      teaspoon  lemon extract

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Generously grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.

2. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the brown sugar over the pan. Sprinkle the 
cranberries over that and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar.

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake the berries for 30 
minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and remove the foil carefully 
(steam will escape).

3. Meanwhile, put the flour, 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar, baking 
powder, and lemon zest in a food processor fitted with the steel 
blade. Process until well blended.

4. Add the milk, eggs, applesauce, oil, and extracts. Let the food 
processor run for 1 minute, scraping the sides down occasionally 
Spoon the batter over the cranberries and smooth out gently.

5. Bake the cake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick 
inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Remove the cake from the oven and run a spatula around the edge. 
Invert the cake onto a serving plate, leaving the pan over the cake 
for a few minutes. Serve hot, warm, or cold.

VARIATION: Almond Cranberry Upside-Down Cake:
After the cranberries are baked, sprinkle 1/4 cup slivered almonds 
over them, before pouring in the batter. Omit the lemon zest and 
replace the lemon extract with 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract.

NOTES : I brought this cake to a Christmas gathering and it was a 
huge success. The jewel-like cranberries end up on top and the cake 
is delicious. You can also place the traditional pineapple on the 
bottom of the pan. It is a sweet cake, so a little goes a long way.
