Easy Cranberry Apple Cake Recipe
Report
An easy to make and quick to put together Cranberry Apple Cake recipe right out of Barefoot Contessa's cookbook. A recipe that I make every year as soon as the fresh cranberries are available in the market.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F/163 C. Grease a 10-inch pie plate with butter or cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, add cranberries, diced apple, ½ cup coconut (or brown) sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and ground cinnamon. Mix to combine. Set aside.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the eggs until frothy, approximately 2 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of cane (or granulated) sugar, melted and cooled butter, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Beat on low until thoroughly combined.
- While the mixer is on low, add flour and salt. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold the batter into the fruit mixture, ensuring that the fruit and batter are evenly distributed and mixed.
- Pour the mixture into the 10-inch pie place. Sprinkle with the additional tablespoon of cane sugar.
- Place in the oven and bake for 60-65 minutes* until lightly brown. To test for doneness, insert the cake with a toothpick or sharp knife. It should come out clean when removed.
- Let cool for 15 minutes and serve.
Notes
- You must use a 10-inch baking dish. We tested it with a 9-inch pie pan and the cake batter overflowed. However, if you only have a 9-inch baking dish, place it on a baking sheet before baking it in the oven. The baking sheet will catch any cake batter if the cake starts to overflow.
- While Ina Garten’s recipe calls for a baking time of 55 - 60 minutes, we found it took longer for us. I recommend you start checking it with the toothpick test at the 55-minute mark. Then, bake in additional 5-minute increments if it is not ready.
