This Cranberry Christmas Cake is sure to be an instant hit . With tart fresh cranberries and sweet buttery cake that is almost the texture of a coffee cake. So good.
There is something about cranberries that automatically makes you think of Christmas. I love my frosted cranberries and Cranberry Orange Muffins. This cake has the texture of almost a coffee cake so it is sweet and yummy and good without any frosting. However, I know it would be great with a glaze on it as well.
With Thanksgiving over I cant wait to get going on my Christmas shopping and baking . Ive already shared several cookie recipes The Grinch Christmas Cookies Cherry Kissmas (Christmas) Cookies and more. I look forward to sharing a lot more. Although this has been such a strange year with the pandemic and all. I havent gotten to see much of my grand children. Im hoping with Christmas and the new year things will looks better.
