CRANBERRY TEA CAKE
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:
- Soften the butter properly: Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you start baking. This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar and will result in a lighter and fluffier cake.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will help the cake to set and will also make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Danish tea cake is a simple but delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with a variety of flavors. Enjoy a slice of Danish tea cake with your favorite cup of tea or coffee.
