CHRISTMAS!!! Just two more days to go. And my excitement has no bounds. Firstly Christmas and then the five weeks of holidays. 😀
Orange and cranberry is such a festive combination, isn’t it?! White chocolate and red juicy cranberries and sweet citrusy orange are an impeccable combination, and this cake is LOADED with all. Trust me this cake is simply IRRESISTIBLE!!
I have been wanting to make this cake for such a long time and I finally did. Boy oh boy this cake turned out to be so moist and delicious.. each and every bite is a burst of flavours in your mouth.. and it looks incredible too. Don’t you think?! And trust me when I say, this cake will impress all the dessert lovers out there! It has got the right balance of sweet and tart. It is just Perfection!
The delicious combination of cranberries and oranges is really that’s hard to beat. They complement each other so well. The juicy tartness of the Cranberries is complemented very well with the citrusy flavour of Orange.
I had made an Orange Almond Cake previously which was moist and delicious too. It was loaded with almond meal and had a wonderful flavour.
This Orange-Cranberry cake is extremely easy to make and and can be whipped up within an hour. I have added buttermilk and cream cheese to the cake batter and it adds more flavour and makes the cake extremely moist.
So this Christmas make this delicious cake and IMPRESS your friends and family!
