So, you know you are "pinning" too much when...your daughter runs down the steps, looks all over in the kitchen and says: "hey, where's the cranberry cake." She saw one of my pins and thought I made it....silly girl...did you smell it?
With our watching what we eat, not a lot of baking going on here. However, with the excitement of the cranberry cake, I decided to make one.
I did copy the recipe from my pin. When I looked for all the ingredients I realized I didn't have some of them, so I revised it to fit what I had.
Cranberry Crumb Cake:
Preheat oven at 350 (while heating, add 1 C chopped walnuts to toast in oven for few minutes)
3 eggs
1 1/2 C white sugar
1/2 C brown sugar
Beat together till light and fluffy - like 5 minutes.
3/4 C soft butter - cut in cubes
Slowly add to the fluffy mix a few cubes at a time.
2 t. vanilla
2 t. almond extract
1 t. fresh grated nutmeg
2 C flour
Blend together. It will look like cookie dough
3/4 C apple cider
Whip together. Take off mixer.
3 C cranberries
Fold in cranberries. Dump into a prepared 9 x 13 pan. Spread evenly - this will be thick.
Melt 1/4 C butter, 1/4 brown sugar together and toasted walnuts and drizzle/sprinkle on top of cake. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes. The almond extract and nugmeg make this a great smelling cake. Like a coffee cake.
(Before baking)
Enjoy! (my family LOVED it)
