\nThis post was sponsored by Beko Appliances<\/a>. Beko is the No. 1 appliance brand in Europe, but they are relatively new to the United States; they first launched in the U.S. in 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n
For those who don’t know, I’ve been working on a kitchen remodel for months! It’s finally done, and I’m so in love with it. So, forgive me if I gush about our new Beko appliances throughout the post. I really can’t help myself! If you haven’t heard of Beko yet, I’m excited to be the one to let you know about this great brand!<\/em><\/p>\n This cranberry upside-down cake is made with a few unique ingredients:<\/p>\n Our new Beko French 4-Door Refrigerator<\/a> is so much bigger than our old one, and we love the clean design. Having regular doors on the bottom for the freezer instead of a big drawer helps us stay organized. And, because the water dispenser is on the inside, not on the outside, it looks super sleek!<\/p><\/div>\n Before you get started, preheat the oven to 350 F.<\/strong><\/p>\n Oh – the oven! I love my new Beko Dual Fuel Range<\/a>. First of all, it’s gorgeous and has a professional look. But, moving beyond that, I love that the stovetop is gas and the oven is electric. It’s the best of both worlds! When I preheat the oven, it tells me exactly what temperature the oven is at – no guessing. It’s spacious and so bright inside; I can clearly watch my desserts bake. And, the drawer at the bottom of the oven is actually a usable extra baking space that can double as storage for the oven rack when not in use.<\/p><\/div>\n Coat a 10 cup Bundt pan with non-stick spray and melted butter<\/strong>. This may sound like overkill. But, the non-stick cooking spray keeps the cake from sticking and the melted butter is to flavor the cranberries. (If you prefer, you could also bake this in a regular cake pan, like I do for my apple upside-down cake<\/a>.)<\/p>\n I melt my butter in the microwave.<\/p>\n Our new Beko microwave<\/a> is both a microwave and a convection oven! I’ll actually be able to bake inside of it. Plus, it has a removable built-in shelf which is super nice for heating up multiple plates of food.<\/p><\/div>\n Next, add brown sugar, cranberries, and more brown sugar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Now, it’s time to make the cake batter. Break up the almond paste<\/strong> in an electric mixer.<\/p>\n Mix in sorghum<\/strong> (or honey) and butter until fully combined.<\/p>\n Mix in eggs<\/strong> and beat on medium-speed for about three minutes to fully incorporate them.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt, then add them a little bit at a time<\/strong> to the batter.<\/p>\n Spread the batter over the cranberry topping<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Bake<\/strong> for 60 minutes or until a cake tester (or long skewer) inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.<\/p>\n Cool completely and then invert<\/strong> onto a serving plate.<\/p>\n Our old dishwasher was so loud that we couldn’t run it if I wanted to watch TV in the other room. Our new Beko dishwasher<\/a> is silent<\/span>. I am not exaggerating. I can’t hear it at all unless I am right on top of it. The racks are really well laid out and, most importantly, our dishes and pots and pans come out squeaky clean.<\/p>\n I should also mention that our dishwasher has an app. You can start it remotely, check on its progress cleaning, and get notifications about problems. Jonathan actually turned the dishwasher on from a store near us the other day!<\/p>\n I leave the cake covered on the counter for up to three days<\/strong>. If you want it to last a little longer than that (up to five days), store it in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n If you like cranberry cake, you should also try making an Eton mess cake<\/a>. It’s a spiced sponge cake with whipped cream, meringues, and sugared cranberries!<\/p>\n My cranberry hand pies<\/a> are also made with frozen cranberries and they are super easy!<\/p>\n If you’re into upside-down desserts but want something smaller, take a look at my pineapple upside-down cupcakes<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhat Makes This Cranberry Cake Special<\/h2>\n
