Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. orange zest, plus 1 orange peeled and cut into rounds
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
  • 1 (10-oz.) package fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Directions

    1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F with the rack in the lowest position. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Whisk together orange zest, buttermilk, and eggs in a separate bowl.
    2. Step 2Melt brown sugar and 1/4 cup butter in a 10", oven- proof skillet, over medium heat. Stir in ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and arrange orange slices and cranberries on top of brown sugar mixture.
    3. Step 3Beat granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 cup butter on medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in flour mixture and buttermilk mixture alternately, beginning and ending with flour mixture, just until flour is incorporated. Spread over oranges and cranberries.
    4. Step 4Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in skillet on a wire rack 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving platter to cool.
    5. Step 5Serve warm or at room temperature.
