When planning a special dinner for company during autumn, this is the dessert recipe I reach for. It's so beautiful and tasty! The cranberry flavor goes well with poultry or pork.—Susan Bazan, Sequim, Washington

Topsy-Turvy Cranberry Cakes Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

30 25 55

Ingredients

3 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel, divided
1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Dash salt
1/3 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Vanilla ice cream

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir in orange juice and 1/2 teaspoon orange peel; add cranberries. Cook over medium heat until the berries pop, about 15 minutes; set aside.
In a small bowl, cream butter and remaining sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Beat in remaining orange peel. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with coconut milk, beating well after each addition.
Sprinkle walnuts into four greased 4-in. fluted tube pans. Spoon cranberry mixture over walnuts; pour batter into pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to a wire rack. Serve warm with ice cream. Yield: 4 servings.
