Ingredients
1
cup
of sugar + 1 Tbsp
divided
½
cup
of butter
2
eggs
1
cup
of flour
1
tsp.
of baking powder
1
large pinch of salt
The zest of one orange
1
cup
of fresh cranberries
2
tsp.
of fresh squeezed orange juice
use the orange you zested and then eat the rest!
1
tsp.
of cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350
Spray down the pan with cooking spray and then line the bottom with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and the cup of sugar together until fluffy.
Add the eggs and mix until well combined.
Add the next four ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix. The batter will be sticky and that's ok.
Spread the batter along the bottom of your prepared pan and smooth until even.
Place the cranberries evenly over the top
Pour the orange juice on the top of the cranberries
Mix the cinnamon and sugar together.
Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the cake.
Give it a quick spray of the cooking spray on top.
Bake for 45 minutes or until your cake tester comes out clean.
This can be served once it's cooled, but it's better the next day (one cooled, cover and leave out at room temperature).
This lasts a couple days on the counter and then move it to the refrigerator.
Enjoy!
