• Preheat oven to 275℉ (135℃)
• Prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by coating with baking spray.

Cake topping

• Melt butter and pour into prepared pan. Evenly sprinkle brown sugar over the butter.
  ¼ Cup Unsalted butter, melted, ½ Cup Brown sugar (light or dark)
• Arrange pecan halves around the outer edge of the cake pan. Add cranberries to the center of the pan.
  18 Pecan halves, ½ Cup Dried cranberries
• Place pan in refrigerator for 10 minutes or until butter solidifies.

Cake batter

• Combine flour, salt, cinnamon and baking powder in a bowl. Set aside for later.
  1 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour, ½ teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1 ¼ teaspoons Baking Powder
• In a separate bowl, combine vegetable oil and milk. Set aside for later.
  ⅓ Cup Vegetable or Canola Oil, ⅓ Cup Whole Milk
• Place sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl.  Using the paddle attachment, mix on medium speed for approximately 2 minutes.
  1 Cup Granulated Sugar, 2 Large Eggs
• Add one-third of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl as needed.
• Add one-half of the milk and vegetable oil and mix until combined. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl as needed.
• Add another third of the flour mixture and mix till smooth. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl as needed.
• Add the remaining oil and milk and mix till smooth. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl as needed.
• Finally, add the remaining flour mixture and mix until smooth. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl as needed.
• Pour the cake batter over the cranberries and pecans.  
• Bake for 15 minutes at 275℉ degrees (135℃).  Increase temperature to 350℉ (180℃) and bake for an additional 20 – 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
• Place pan on a wire rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Run an offset spatula or knife around the inside of the cake pan. Flip cake over onto a serving dish.
• Note - Don’t let the cake sit in the pan too long after baking—if it cools too much, the topping can harden and make it harder to flip the cake out cleanly.
