Sharing is caring!

I like to have a special recipe or two in my back pocket for holiday breakfasts.  Something that is easy to make on a whim, festive and as well as delicious.  This recipe for Upside Down Cranberry Coffee Cake is exactly that.  All the ingredients should be in your pantry, with the exception of the cranberries.  I like to keep fresh cranberries tucked away in the freezer for last minute delicious such as this.

I have cranberries in the fridge! They were for garnish in a cocktail and I didn't know what to do with them until now!

Darn it! I should have tucked an extra bag of cranberries in the freezer. Pinning in hopes I'll remember to check back next fall :)

This one sounds good. I'm sending it to my Mom to make for one of her gatherings in Florida.

Always good to have a few crowd pleasers in the back pocket just in case. I just love the addition of cranberries in here! Really takes the coffee cake to a new level.

Hope you and Lenny have a wonderful holiday!
