Nine times out of ten, my grocery cart looks like I’m preparing for a real life version of Candy Land (but really, can that be a thing? Because I think I would dominate at that game).

I tend to go a little overboard when shopping for blog related products, as in, instead of purchasing one bag of chocolate chips or some sort of Christmas candy, I end up buying about twelve.

It always makes checking out a real party, because it’s never awkward at all when the cashier has to scan 12 boxes of chocolate, 8 cans of evaporated milk, 5 bags of sugar, 3 bags of cranberries, and a partridge in a pear tree.

At least during this time of the year, I can blame it on Christmas, because who is going to dispute anything that has to do with spreading a little Christmas cheer?

And this cranberry orange cake spreads a lot of Christmas cheer.

Scout’s honor.

I’m a big baker year around (big surprise, I know), but during Christmas, my whole family gets involved. We love to turn up the Christmas music, pull out the flour (Bob’s Red Mill, of course!), and get our bake on.

This year involved my sweet niece, though she was more interested in her toes than the baking process.

Though in a few years, I have this feeling she’ll be just as interested in cake as we all are. Between her auntie and her mommy and their frequent cupcake runs, she’ll have no choice in the matter. Perhaps at Christmas, this cranberry orange cake will be her first introduction to cake??

(And also an introduction to German Chocolate Pecan Pie, Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie, and this No Bake Cranberry Orange Cream Pie…)

Tips and Tricks on how to make a Cranberry Orange Cake from scratch:

This might seem like an obvious statement, but I’m going to say it anyway: Read all the instructions from start to finish before you do anything else. This will help familiarize you with the recipe and help you from skipping a step or making a mistake.
Sift all dry ingredients. This used to be a step I’d like to skip because I didn’t really think it mattered all that much. Guys, I was wrong. Sifting the dry ingredients ensures the cake is light, fluffy, and tender. If you don’t sift, the cake can be very heavy and dense.
I like a nice thin layer of frosting on my cakes and in-between the cake layers; however, feel free to double the recipe if you like a thick layer of frosting.
