CRANBERRY-APPLESAUCE CRUMB CAKE image

Yield 12 squares

Number Of Ingredients 18

Fruit Sauce
1/2 c chunky applesauce
1 12-oz bag fresh cranberries
3/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Topping
1/3 c all-purpose flour
2/3 c packed light brown sugar
4 T unsalted butter, at room temperature
Cake
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
2 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 2/3 c all-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly butter and flour a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. 2. Prepare the fruit sauce: Combine the applesauce, cranberries, sugar, and cinnamon in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. SImmer, stirring frequently, just until the cranberries begin to pop open, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. 3. Prepare the topping: In a mixing bowl, stir the flour with the brown sugar. Using the tines of a fork, cut in the butter to form coarse crumbs. Set aside. 4. Prepare the cake: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixed on hight speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in the vanilla. 5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this to the creamed mixture in batches, alternating with the milk, and blend until smooth. 6. Spread the batter in the prepared pan, and spread the cooled cranberry applesauce evenly on top. Sprinkle with the topping, and bake until bubbling hot and crisp, about 40-45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely in pan. If preparing a day ahead, wrap well and refrigerate.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and the crumb topping was too hard. I won't be making it again.

This cake was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I expected and the crumb topping was a bit dry. I probably won't make it again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The cranberries and applesauce gave it a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness. I would make it again, but I would use less sugar.

This cake was good, but not great. It was a bit dry and the crumb topping was too sweet for my taste. I might make it again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.

I've made this cake several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's moist and flavorful, and the crumb topping is addictive. I like to add a little extra cinnamon and nutmeg to the applesauce for a more pronounced flavor.
