Vegan Cranberry Upside Down Cake

Spanakopita and Cranberry Upside Down Cake

This is a family recipe, and it never fails to make a good impression. It's all kinds of gooey and tart and sweet. Mm.

1 pound cranberries
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/4 cup melted Earth Balance margarine (or canola oil + 1/4 tsp salt)
1 6-oz. container vanilla soy yogurt
1 cup flour

Spread the cranberries in the bottom of a well-oiled pie dish. Top with 1/2 cup sugar and chopped nuts.

Mix the remaining 1 cup of sugar with the margarine and the soy yogurt. Add the flour, mixing just until incorporated. Pour the batter over the cranberries and bake at 350 for 1 hour.
