Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Use a turkey baster or large spoon to drizzle the sauce over the cake. Poke the cake with a fork or skewer to help it absorb all of the sauce, or until the cake is thoroughly moistened.

CRANBERRY ORANGE CAKE
I saw Giada De Laurentiis prepare this cake on her show on the Food Network, before Christmas. Her recipe on their site includes a caramel walnut sauce, but she didn't do that on the show. This cake is dense, slightly moist and full of flavor. It does not rise very high. My guests all liked it and I thought it was delicious with a cup of tea.

Tips:
- For a moist and flavorful cake, use fresh oranges and cranberries. If fresh cranberries are unavailable, frozen cranberries can be used. Thaw them completely before using.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them to get the most flavor. Orange zest adds a bright citrus flavor to the cake.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it light and airy.
- Gradually add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help to ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
- Fold the cranberries into the cake batter gently. Overmixing will cause the cranberries to bleed into the batter, making the cake dense.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the cake pan.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This Tuscan Sun Orange Cranberry Cake is a delicious and festive cake perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a bright citrus flavor from the oranges and cranberries. The frosting is smooth and creamy, adding a touch of sweetness to the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
