Enjoy this recipe from Passion for Spices™ showcasing our Kashmiri Garam Masala.
Procedure:
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In an 8-inch cast-iron skillet (*see note), cook 4 tablespoons of butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the butter melts and starts to bubble.
Remove pan from the heat and let cool.
In a small saucepan, cook the cranberries and orange juice and the Zest and cook until the cranberries start to pop.
Remove from the heat and pour evenly over the cooled caramel..
In another bowl add the flour, baking powder, spices and salt, whisking to combine.
In another bowl beat the remaining 8 tablespoons butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and light.
Beat in the two egg yolks, one at a time, and stir in the vanilla essence.
Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk, starting and ending with one third of the flour. Mix until the flour is incorporated.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks.
Fold one third of the egg whites into the batter and then gently fold in the rest.
Pour the batter over the cranberries in the pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
Run a knife around the edge of the pan, then invert the cake onto a serving plate.
If you don’t have an 8-inch cast iron skillet, melt the butter and brown sugar in a regular skillet and pour it into an 8-inch cake pan.
