  Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in center. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in bottom of 10-inch iron skillet. In small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar with cinnamon and allspice; sprinkle mixture evenly over bottom of skillet. Arrange cranberries in a single layer on top of sugar mixture. NOTE: Original recipe called for rubbing bottom and sides of an 8-inch round cake pan with 2 Tbsp butter. When I hear upside down cake I think Iron Skillet. The skillet worked fine for me.

  NOTE: I used 1 cup heavy whipping cream to make whipped topping. I beat until it started forming a peak, add a few tsp of sugar to sweetened and beat until stiff. This was the icing on the cake so to speak. YUMMY!
