Love that.

(^^^ that’s me.)
But I’m still waiting for mine to be made into a poster.
I may preach all things pie, but I do love cake. Let’s get real. Who doesn’t love cake!?
My favorite kind is usually from a regular pan, single layer, no frosting (whaaaat? I know. Just HOLD ON), but with a sweet, crispy top. And that has a few goodies distributed throughout.
So, it only makes sense why this cake didn’t last long. Cranberries in every bite, with a flaky cinnamon-sugar crust.
The intention was to take it to the kids’ school and share it with their teachers. But it never made it that far.
Cranberry Cinnamon Cake
Serves 12
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- • 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- • 2 cups sugar
- • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- • 1/4 teaspoon salt
- • 1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- • 1 cup buttermilk
- • 2 eggs
- • 1 teaspoon vanilla
- • zest from one large orange
- • 2 cups (about 7 ounces) frozen cranberries
- • 1/4 cup sugar
- • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan; set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together the 2 cups of flour, 2 cups sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt. Using a pastry blender or your hands, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a medium bowl whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and orange zest. Add to the flour mixture all at once; using a fork, stir just until moistened. Sprinkle cranberries with 2 tablespoons of flour and fold into the batter (this will help them from completely falling to the bottom.)
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread out evenly. Combine the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over batter. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool and cut into squares.
