1. Prepare Topping: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Pour this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Sprinkle the cranberries evenly over the butter and sugar mixture. 🍰🍒🧈🍬

4. Pour Batter: Gently pour the batter over the cranberries in the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. 🍰
6. Cool and Flip: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
