This cranberry sauce cake is a lovely simple cake with hints of both orange and cranberry (made for each other).  A quick and easy glaze is drizzled on top.  I’d say it would be a nice cake to serve to guests over the holidays, and it could certainly pass for a morning coffee cake too.

About fresh cranberries and canned cranberry sauce:

When Thanksgiving rolls around, I frantically start buying up all the fresh cranberries and canned cranberry sauce I can find.  I love to keep fresh cranberries in my freezer all year long because I often decide to make things with cranberries in them when it’s not cranberry season!  They freeze beautifully, and they’re ready to add to recipes at any time. And I keep the canned variety of cranberry sauce in my pantry because the boys in my house like the canned stuff!  It’s good for adding to recipes too- like this cranberry sauce cake!

Since I go a little bit overboard with my purchases of all things cranberry, I decided I’d better share my cranberry sauce cake recipe with you. I figured you probably have some cranberry sauce lurking around in your pantry too!  You’ll need the whole berry variety for this recipe. Enjoy!
