Cranberry Sauce Cake
7 years ago
I had company for lunch and since it was November, thought I would try this cake -- it is really good! I made it in two half size bundt pans (I only had 4 for lunch and bundt cakes go a long way) so I had one for today and one for later.
CRANBERRY SAUCE CAKE
3 c. flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. mayo (not Miracle Whip)
1 (16 oz) can whole berry cranberry sauce
1/3 c. orange juice
1 T. grated orange peel
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 t. orange extract
1 c. chopped Nuts (recipe called for walnuts but here in Kansas we're partial to pecans)
Icing:
1 c. powdered sugar
1 - 2 T. orange juice (I needed a bit more)
In a mixing bowl, combine cake ingredients except for nuts. Mix well. Fold in nuts. Spray bundt pan with Pam. Pour batter into pan. Bake at 350 for 60 to 70 minutes (I forgot to time the little guys but I think a little over 30 minutes -- I was busy doing other things as I had company for lunch). Cool 10 minutes in pan before removing to a wire rack. Combine icing ingredients and drizzle over the warm cake.
I sugared fresh cranberries and slivers of orange peel for decoration.

Comments (1)How about this? CRANBERRY SWIRL COFFEECAKE 1/2 cup butter 1 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup sour cream (I use nonfat plain yogurt) 1 tsp. almond extract 1 cup of fresh cranberry sauce (or one 8 oz. can of whole cranberry sauce) 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. (*Decrease the temperature by 25 degrees if using dark pan). Grease and flour one 9- or 10-inch tube pan. 2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light. Beat in the eggs just until well blended. 3. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With mixer running, (can lower the mixer speed if desired), add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream or yogurt to the butter mixture until just blended. Do not overmix! Stir in the almond extract and mix only until just combined. Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Swirl 1/2 of the cranberry sauce into the batter. Repeat, ending with the batter on top. 4. Bake at 350° F. around 55 minutes. Makes one 9- or 10-inch cake (12 servings)....See MoreHomemade Cranberry sauce ?
Comments (6)Never made it, but used to watch my mother using the old grinder. Think she added nuts as well. This is old fashioned cranberry relish 2 cups washed raw cranberries 2 skinned and cored tart apples 1 large, whole (peel ON) seedless orange, cut into sections 1 to 2 cups granulated sugar (depending on how sweet you would like your relish to be) Method 1 Set up the grinder with a medium-sized blade on the edge of a table with a large roasting pan or bowl to catch the mix as it grinds. These old fashioned grinders tend to leak some of the juice down the grinder base, so you may want to set up an additional pan on the floor under the grinder to catch the drips. If you don't have an old-fashioned grinder you can use a grinder attachment on a KitchenAid mixer, you can chop by hand (though that will take a lot of work), or you can chop in a food processor (be very careful not to over-pulse, or you'll end up with mush). 2 Run fruit through a grinder. Use the entire (seedless) orange, peels, pith and all. 3 Mix in the sugar. Let sit at room temperature until sugar dissolves, about 45 minutes. Store in the refrigerator. Makes about 3 cups....See MoreWould You Bring Your Own Cranberry Sauce?
Comments (55)My mother was southern, but I'm not southern enough to think if rude if a guest asks me if there is something they can bring. At my age, I often take them up on their offer and suggest bringing an hors d'oeuvre or rolls/bread etc. I don't think it is appropriate to just show up with a dish for the dinner table - that is a bit presumptuous. For a couple of years, I belonged to a "supper club" at our church. We were all assigned to groups. Whomever was hosting the group was to provide the main course, and the other 3 couples were to each bring something. I didn't like that idea so I just asked them to bring dessert or hors d'oeuvre. One can't have too much of either and it doesn't affect the dinner....See MoreCan I freeze no-cook cranberry sauce?
Comments (9)I do it all the time for use with poultry year round. In October when the cranberries first hit the stores, I reasoned they were at their freshest from harvest and bought over ten pounds to freeze. I freeze the whole bag, i bought two pound bags. Then I make the same recipe as you do, stir everything together and let it mascerate for about a half hour. I freeze it in 8 ounce freezer containers. When I am ready to use it, I take it out a few hours ahead to defrost or even defrost it in the refrigerator a day ahead. I would be surprised if you could find fresh cranberries in the stores now. They are out of season here in California till next October. I love to stir a spoonful of the cranberry relish into plain or vanilla yogurt too....See More
