Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Gluten-free confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 4 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, granulated and brown sugars, and orange zest on medium-high until very light and fluffy, 7 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla and salt. With mixer on low, gradually add flour blend and cinnamon and beat until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in pecans and cranberries.
  • Transfer batter to pan, smooth top, and bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 1 1/4 hours (cover with foil if browning too quickly). Let cool in pan 15 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Tips:

  • Prepare ahead: To save time on Christmas day, make the cranberry sauce and cake layers a day or two in advance. The flavors will meld and deepen over time, making the cake even more delicious.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter, tarter flavor than frozen cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake layers until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and making the cake soggy.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting: Cream cheese frosting is a classic pairing for red velvet cake. It's rich, creamy, and slightly tangy.
  • Decorate the cake with fresh cranberries, holly leaves, or other festive decorations: This will make the cake look extra special for your holiday gathering.

Conclusion:

This gluten-free holiday cake with cranberry sauce is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for your Christmas celebration. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the cranberry sauce adds a tart and tangy twist. The cream cheese frosting is rich and creamy, and the fresh cranberries, holly leaves, and other festive decorations make the cake look extra special. Whether you're serving it to your family or friends, this cake is sure to be a hit.
