Cranberry mixture:

- ¾ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries About 12 oz.
Cake batter:
- ½ cup butter unsalted and softened One stick of butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups sifted all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with sides at least 2 inches high with a circle of parchment paper.
Cranberry mixture:
- Pour the melted butter into the bottom of the cake pan.
- In a bowl, mix brown sugar with cranberries. Try to arrange them in a single layer over the butter. Set aside.
Cake batter:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar until well blended.
- Beat in eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla and mix.
- Separately, mix the dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice.
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter alternating with the buttermilk.
- Spoon batter evenly over cranberries.
- Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

- Use a dull knife to go around the edge of the cake pan, separating the cake from the sides. Flip the cake onto a serving dish.

Notes
- Given the amount of batter and cranberry mixture your recipe contains, I would recommend using a pan that is at least 2 to 2.5 inches deep.
