Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350* and place a baking sheet on the middle shelf of the oven.

  7. For the batter, sift the flour and baking powder and set aside.
  8. Combine the eggs, sugar and rind in a heatproof bowl over a pot of hot (not boiling) water.
  9. (I just use hot tap water, because ours is very hot).
  10. With an electric mixer, beat until the eggs leave a ribbon trail when the beaters are lifted.
  11. Add the flour mixture gradually, folding in well after each addition.
  12. Gently fold in the melted butter, then pour the batter over the cranberries.
  13. Place pan on baking sheet in oven and bake for 40 minutes.
  14. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in pan, then run a knife around the edge to loosen.
  15. To unmold, place a large serving plate over the pan (while the cake is still warm).
  16. Holding the plate and pan together, using potholders, flip over and carefully lift the pan.
  17. If any cranberries, etc.
  18. Are stuck to the pan, spoon off and place on the cake where ever it appears to need it.
