Description

This Cranberry Orange Breakfast Cake is a delightful way to start your day with its tender crumb and burst of citrus flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar (Substitute with coconut sugar for a different flavor profile.)
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder (Essential for leavening.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Use fine sea salt for even distribution.)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Can be substituted with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.)
  • 2 large Eggs (For a vegan option, replace with a flax egg.)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Enhances the flavors.)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Orange Zest (Infuses the cake with citrusy flavor.)
  • 2 cups Fresh Cranberries (Frozen cranberries can be used if fresh are unavailable.)
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar (A light dusting adds visual appeal.)
  • 1 orange Orange Slices (For garnish.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, and add the vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh orange zest.
  6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  7. Fold in the fresh cranberries.
  8. Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with orange slices.
