Even though this is a light dessert, my kids love it. Since it's so popular, I stock up on canned pumpkin in the fall when it's on sale so I can make it all year long. -Cami LaForge, Murray, Utah

Tips for Making Cranberry Pumpkin Spice Cake:

  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more evenly and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter, the cake needs to bake for a few more minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cranberry Pumpkin Spice Cake is a delicious and festive cake that is perfect for fall gatherings. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. The cranberry sauce adds a tart and tangy flavor that complements the pumpkin and spices perfectly. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
