Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 1h12m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for the pan
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting the pan
1/2 cup yellow fine cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 cup orange zest (from 2 large oranges)
3/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large egg yolks
2 large eggs
Caramel Walnut Sauce, recipe follows
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, optional

Steps:

  • Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and orange zest. Measure 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture into a small bowl. Add the chopped cranberries and toss until coated. Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the egg yolks and whole eggs, 1 at a time. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Using a spatula, gently fold in the cranberries.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake until the cake is golden brown, and a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut the cake into wedges, arrange on a serving platter and serve with the Caramel Walnut Sauce. (The cake can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight in a plastic container.)
  • In a medium saucepan, mix together the cream, brown sugar, and butter over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.

CRANBERRY CARAMEL SAUCE



Cranberry Caramel Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Food Processor     Dessert     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy     Low Sodium     Cranberry     Fall     Chill     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup picked-over fresh or frozen cranberries
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • In a food processor purée cranberries and transfer to a small bowl.
  • In a dry heavy saucepan cook sugar over moderate heat, stirring with a fork, until melted and cook, without stirring, swirling pan, until a golden caramel. Remove pan from heat and carefully add water and cranberry purée (caramel will steam and harden). Return pan to heat and simmer sauce, stirring, 10 minutes, or until caramel is dissolved. Pour sauce through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl, pressing hard on solids, and cool completely. Sauce may be made 4 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring sauce to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Prepare your ingredients in advance: Mise en place is key to successful baking. Measure and gather all your ingredients before you start mixing. This will help you avoid scrambling and ensure that you have everything you need on hand.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cake will be. Look for fresh cranberries, pure vanilla extract, and unsalted butter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature: The cake will stay fresh for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

This cranberry cake with caramel sauce is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a sweet and tangy cranberry filling.
