Delicious Upside Down Cranberry Skillet Cake Recipe

[Chefstover2]

I know I've done this at a show at least 5 years ago...Upside Down Cranberry Skillet Cake. It was YUMMY and we made it with White Hot Chocolate at the show. I cannot for the life of me find the recipe for the cake. Does anyone else happen to have this recipe still?

Thanks!

Is this it? This can be made in the Fluted Stone or in the Family Skillet...

Cranberry-Orange Cake

Makes:16 servings

Cake

1 box (4-serving size) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling mix
1 cup water - or half OJ/half water
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon grated orange peel - I used zest of whole orange
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped (do not thaw frozen cranberries)
Powdered sugar, if desired

Orange Sauce, if desired
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon Gold Medal® all-purpose flour

3. Bake 57 to 63 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. OR bake in 12 inch PC skillet at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Cool 15 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Sounds good, but the one I'm thinking of had brown sugar butter and cranberries on the bottom, then cake mix on top then turned out onto a platter after being baked...like an upside-down cake.

I think my director has found some old show notes I can use...but if anyone else has the whole recipe, I'd love to have it again!

Sounds wonderful. Please post when you find it or figure out how to make it from the notes your director gave you!
