Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and light in color, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should almost double in size. The eggs work as your leavening agent in this recipe, so do not skip this step. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
- Add the butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes. Stir in the flour until just combined. Add the cranberries and stir to mix throughout.
- Spread in a buttered 9x13 pan. (This pan is my favorite!) Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. (I baked mine for 43 minutes.)
- Let cool completely before cutting into small slices. I cut mine into fairly small pieces, about 1"x2", so that they could be easily eaten at a party. Enjoy!

Yield Makes one 10-inch tart
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Crust: On a lightly floured work surface, roll pate brisee into a 13-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off excess flour; fit dough into a 10-inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Fold edges toward center to reinforce; press into sides of tart ring. Pierce bottom of tart shell all over with a fork. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Uncover and line tart shell with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges are set and golden, about 20 minutes. Remove weights and parchment and continue baking until bottom of crust is dry and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Filling: Place cold water in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Combine cranberries, sugar, jelly, and cognac in a saucepan and cook over low heat 12 to 15 minutes. Do not overcook or the mixture will become too watery; cranberries should be soft but not bursting. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in gelatin and let cool completely.
- Pour cranberry filling into tart shell and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using. - To make the cake extra moist, add 1/2 cup of sour cream to the batter. - If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch round baking pan. Just be sure to trim the excess dough around the edges. - To prevent the cranberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake, toss them with a little flour before adding them to the batter. - Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Let the cake cool completely before serving.Conclusion:
This tart cranberry cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a hit with guests. The combination of tart cranberries and sweet cake is irresistible. So next time you're looking for a delicious dessert, give this tart cranberry cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
