CRANBERRY TEA CAKE



Cranberry Tea Cake image

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.

Tips:

  • For the perfect crumb, use cold butter and cream cheese. This will help prevent the cakes from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense cakes.
  • Be sure to chop the walnuts finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cakes.
  • If you don't have a mini muffin pan, you can use a regular muffin pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • These cakes are best served warm, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These Cranberry Orange Walnut Tea Cakes are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So get creative and enjoy!
