Best 3 Cranberry White Chocolate Pound Cake Recipes

WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Melt the white chocolate over low to medium low heat -- careful! It burns easily. I stir the whole time the chocolate is melting. Remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10" bundt (fluted tube) pan.
• In a large bowl beat together the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spread and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the extracts. Gently fold in the white chocolate.
• In a smaller bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add it in thirds, alternating with the yogurt or sour cream, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
• Fold in the cranberries and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 50- 55 mins. Check for doneness with a pick inserted into the center. Let the cake cool before turning it out of the pan onto a plate.
• To make the Sugared Cranberries, add ¼ cup of the granulated sugar and the ¼ cup water to a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer to let the sugar dissolve and then reduce the heat to low. Add the cranberries, stir to coat, and remove them from the heat. Use a slotted spoon to place them on a metal rack. Let them cool for a few minutes. Pour the remaining granulated sugar in a shallow dish. Roll the cranberries in the sugar one by one until each one is coated.
• To make the white chocolate ganache, melt the shortening over low to medium low heat. Stir in the chopped white chocolate. Continue stirring and let the chocolate melt over medium heat until smooth. Drizzle it over the top of the cake.
• Before the chocolate sets, stack the cranberries all over the top of the cake. Pile them up! You can dip a cranberry in the white chocolate to stack them and hold them in place.

EASY CRANBERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 170c, 325F. Grease and line your baking tin. See here for how to line
• Get all your ingredients ready, i.e zest and juice the lemon, sieve the flour, and add the salt and baking powder to the flour etc. Pop the cranberries in a bowl or bag, and add the 1 Tablespoon of flour. Coat the cranberries with the flour then remove the excess flour. (This stops the fruit sinking during the bake).
• Start with making the cake batter by creaming the butter and sugar until a pale light colour. To achieve a softer texture cake, it is really important to cream the butter and sugar until almost white and a little fluffy. See the photo below.
• Slowly add the beaten eggs and milk to the mixer, on a low speed setting, a bit at a time. If the mixture starts to curdle or split, add a spoonful of your sieved flour, keep on adding the eggs and milk and a bit of flour if necessary, until all the eggs are added.
• Once combined, add the lemon juice, and zest, and the rest of the flour. Right at the end, fold in the cranberries and white chocolate.
• Transfer the cake mixture to the greased and lined loaf tin. Place in the oven for 1 hr to 1 hr and 5 minutes. Test if done after 55 minutes by placing a skewer in the centre of the cake and make sure it comes out clean. Every oven is different so cook times will vary a little.
• Have a cup of tea and wait!
• Allow to cool. Store in an airtight container. This cake is best eaten the following day, although it doesn't usually last that long!
