This cranberry cake may appear hard to make but is quick and simple thanks to the shortcut of a boxed cake mix. Cranberry preserves add seasonal flair, and a beautiful marble swirl brings the festivity to this holiday dessert.
The white cake:
The easiest part of this holiday cranberry cake is making the white batter because boxed mix provides the time-saving shortcut we all could use. Simply follow the instructions on the back of the box. And while I’ve opted for a time saver here, if you’ve got the time and energy, feel free to make your own white cake from scratch. To each their own!
The cranberry cake:
To get that striking red color in your loaf cake, you’ll need cranberry sauce or preserves. A few drops of red food coloring also help for good measure, but if you’re not hung up on the color, you can skip the food coloring and stick to the natural stuff.
The swirl:
This is so much easier to achieve than it looks! All you need is a butter knife or skewer. To assemble the cake, you’ll start with a thin bottom layer of white cake mix. Then take heaping tablespoonfuls of each batter, alternating between the two colors, and dollop them in the cake pan until you’ve used all your batter. Next, use your utensil to first draw long horizontal lines through the batters, followed by shorter vertical lines.
