Cranberry Tea Cake

Recipe #78133 | 1¼ hours | 15 min prep | add private note

This was originally from the "Moosewood Sundays" cookbook and was an instant hit around here...part coffeecake, part dessert - yummy! I've never had almonds in the house, but can vouch that it's great even without them. I've added in a bit of orange rind to the cranberry mix before too, to give it a nice zing. I have always used a Bundt pan...makes for a very pretty presentation for breakfast, brunch, tea, dessert, or gifts, especially around the winter holidays.

This cake was delicious! It did not come out as beautiful as in the picture, but I blame that on my oven... But it did taste great! My mother gave me a recipe for a sourcream coffee cake from the "cake bible" which is similar, but a lot more time and bowl consuming and the results are just as good! So I will use this simpler recipe from now on! The cranberries went really well in this sweet cake. I am very impressed and I think I will make this cake many times again. Thank you for posting!

    Delicious cake with a great combination of flavours! Quick to make too - always a bonus! I baked in a 25 cm (9") round cake pan for just over an hour. However, the cranberry filling was really tart - a function of the cranberries I used, no doubt (maybe the Scandinavian variety are tarter?), but next time I'd definitely decrease the amount of berries. I think this recipe would work really well with lingonberries and red currants too - will definitely experiment this autumn! Thanks so much for sharing!

    This is a dense, sweet cake. We loved it. The ribbons of spiced cranberries made a beautiful presentation in the sliced cake. The flavors were wonderful. I baked my cake for 50 minutes and it tested done with a cake tester. However, it could have baked just a bit longer for the portion of cake in the bottom of the pan. My oven needed a little closer to the 60 minutes recommended in the recipe. Hubby ate 2 pieces tonight and has claimed the rest for the morning. LOL It is a winner.

    I have made this cake for years, from the original cookbook. It's always a favorite. It also divides very well into several mini-loaves, perfect for gift-giving.
