Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
3 egg whites
¼ cup cranberry applesauce
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
¼ cup white sugar
1 ¼ cups water
1 (16 ounce) can whole cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour the bottom and sides of two 9 inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, egg whites, water and cranberry apple sauce. Mix on low speed until batter is moist. Then mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
  • Bake cake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 35 minutes. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool cakes on wire racks in pans for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and let finish cooling on racks.
  • To Make Frosting: In a medium sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar and 1/2 of the whipped topping until smooth. Fold in the cranberry sauce and the remaining whipped topping. Refrigerate frosting until chilled. When cakes have cooled, frost the center and top of cake only. The frosting will be very soft.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but this cake was surprisingly good. The orange zest really brightens up the flavor.
