Make this Keto or Paleo New England Upside-Down Cake

Image
  Ingredients 14-ounce can whole berry cranberry sauce 1 tablespoon lemon juice White or yellow cake mix (I am using a keto you can do a paleo too), plus whatever ingredients are called for on the box; the boxed cake mix I used called for water, eggs and butter instead of vegetable oil. Directions Step 1: Make the cranberry topping In a bowl, mix the canned cranberry sauce and lemon juice together. Make sure you’re using whole-berry cranberry sauce here to get the right texture (the jellied stuff will just fall apart). Step 2: Prepare the pan ALLISON ROBICELLI FOR TASTE OF HOME Grease a square cake pan , and line it with either parchment paper or aluminum foil. Pour the cranberry mixture into the pan and spread evenly across the bottom. Step 3: Make the cake layer Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. If you want to  make box cake mix taste homemade  (or homemade-ish), add a teaspoon of almond extract or vanilla extract. Then carefully spoon the batter evenly on top
