Lemon glaze would be a nice addition to this cake. Glaze, not frosting.

A sweet buttery cake with the flavor of tart cranberries, white chocolate chips and pecans.
[Image]Today I have a delicious Christmas Cake to share with you! I have several bags of fresh cranberries in my freezer, so I needed a new recipe to use some of them up. I plan on making Christmas jam with a few of the bags, but I thought a festive Christmas Cranberry Cake would be nice.
I found this recipe a couple months back and pinned on Pinterest to make over the Christmas Holiday. I love cake and I love cranberries, so I thought it was the perfect combination. This cake also calls for pantry staples that you probably already have on hand.
I did adapt the original recipe from the Barefeet in the Kitchen blog after reading through several of the comments. Most of the readers were stating that the cake was dense, dry and heavy using only all purpose flour and no baking powder, salt or baking soda.
[Image]I tweaked the recipe a bit by substituting with self rising flour, adding milk, and white chocolate chips to balance out the tartness of the cranberries. I also sprinkled a bit of regular sugar on the top of the batter just before baking for added crispness.
This cake turned out fabulous!!!!! I loved it so much that I made one to take for Thanksgiving with our family, and everyone raved about it and wanted the recipe. I think the little changes I made worked out perfectly and the cake was moist, and fluffy. I also ♥ loved ♥ the addition of the white chocolate chips. I hope you'll give this recipe a try because I think this is the perfect holiday cake.
