Units
Scale
- 6 oz (3/4 cup) butter, melted
- 10 oz (1 1/4 cup) sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 1/2 oz (1 cup) all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 oz (1/2 cup) walnut pieces
- 8 oz (2 cups) raw fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Grease a 9" springform cake pan with butter (you can also use a regular pan but springboard will make your life easier).
- Use walnut pieces or add the walnuts to a quart size ziploc bag and smash (hit) with the back of a big spoon until pieces are broken up. (see video)
- With a hand mixer, mix together melted butter and sugar for 2 minutes. Add eggs for 1 minute. Add flour and baking powder and mix until combined.
- Fold in (not with the mixer) the cranberries and walnuts by hand. The batter will be thick.
- Spoon into pan and level top with a spatula.
- Bake 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clear.
- Cool completely (~ an hour) and run a knife along the edges of the pan to help separate it from the pan.
- Serve with ice cream or fresh whipped cream. Happy Eating! Beckie
Notes
- Did your cake fall apart because you tried to get it out while it was still too hot or forgot to grease the pan? Don't panic. Tear it apart, crumb cake style, and serve with a spoon and a side of ice cream or whipped cream.
- Working with frozen cranberries? Defrost them first so you don't add extra liquid to the cake.
