Cranberry Upside-Down Cake

This sounded so good when I came across that I had to try it. It makes a nice moist cake and the cranberries are a nice change from the usual pineapple. The use of the applesauce in place of oil also makes it almost fat free.

2 c Cranberries
1 3/4 c Sugar
1/2 c Water
1 c Flour
1 1/2 t Sodium Free Baking Powder
1/2 c Applesauce
1/4 c Egg Substitute or 1 Large Egg
1/4 c Skim Milk
1/4 c Orange Juice
1 t Orange Peel,Grated
1/2 t Vanilla

Spray bottom and sides of 9-inch round baking pan with non-stick vegetable oil spray. Combine cranberries, 1 cup sugar and water in large saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened to syrupy consistency, about 10 minutes. Pour into prepared pan. Cool to room temperature. Sift together cake flour, remaining 3/4 cup sugar and baking powder into large bowl. In another bowl stir applesauce, egg substitute, milk, orange juice, orange peel and vanilla until blended. Stir into dry ingredients just until blended. Pour over cranberry mixture. Bake at 375 degrees 25 to 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cake cool in pan about 5 minutes. Loosen cake around edges of pan. Place inverted serving platter over cake and turn both upside down. Shake gently then remove pan. Serve warm.
