Tips

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can be used if necessary, but they will not be as tart.
  • Grate the orange zest finely. This will help to release the oils and flavor of the orange.
  • Use all-purpose flour for this recipe. Cake flour will make the cake too dense.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth and tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, or the cake will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a sweeter frosting, add more confectioners' sugar.
  • For a more tart frosting, add more lemon juice.
  • Decorate the cake with additional cranberries, orange zest, or chopped nuts, if desired.

Conclusion

This cranberry orange coffee cake is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion.
