Who here eats cranberries or drinks cranberry juice on a regular basis? It's really popular here in New England and one of the basic fruits/juices. Beyond cranberry sauce at holidays dinners I mean. According to Wikipedia, cranberries are a major crop in Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Washington, Oregon, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and parts of Canada.
Our friend Jade over at Cooking For 2 has a great recipe for Cranberry Cake. Like all of the recipes at her blog, it's very easy to follow. Full recipe after the jump (but visit her site too for a lot of great things to make).
Cranberry Cake
2 c flour
1 c sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3 T butter, melted
2/3 c milk
1/2 lb. cranberries
Topping:
1/2 c whipping cream
1/2 c butter
1 c sugar
1 T vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap 8x8 pan in aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Mix flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and milk. Add wet mixture into the dry. Stir just until combined. Fold in cranberries.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
Once the cake is out of the oven and cooling, whip up the topping. Pour whipping cream, butter and sugar into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, then stir in vanilla. Serve cake and topping while still warm.
