4 ounces butter, plus 8 ounces 1/2 cup light brown
sugar 1/4 cup cranberry juice 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4
teaspoon ground allspice 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 2 cups fresh or
quick frozen cranberries 8 ounces butter 1 cup milk 1 egg 1
1/2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2
cup sugar Serving suggestion: Whipped cream or ice cream
Preheat
oven to 400 degrees F.
Melt the 4 ounces of butter in a nonstick,
ovenproof 9-inch skillet. Add the brown sugar, juice and spices and stir
until sugar dissolves and liquid is bubbly. Chill mixture, add the
cranberries, and set aside.
In a small pan, melt 8 ounces of
butter. Remove from the heat and add the milk and egg. Set aside.
In
a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the
milk mixture and whisk until smooth. Pour this mixture over the
cranberries in the skillet. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick
comes out clean.
Let cake cool in pan for about 15 minutes then
turn out onto plate (fruit will be on top and juice will be dripping down)
and serve slices with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
