- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- For the Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
- For the topping, melt 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan, and evenly spread the cranberries on top.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter over the cranberries and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
