During a season heavy in gingerbread and rich eggnog, this Cranberry Orange Spice Cake is a bright, fresh surprise. Studded with tart cranberries and a pleasantly yet unexpected hint of ground cloves, this citrus cake is light and playful \u2013 a modern take on \u201csugar, spice, and everything nice,\u201d if you ask me.<\/p>\n

Fall and winter baking typically scream warm spices and decadent desserts. While I still crave those types of cake on chilly nights by the fire, I wanted to create something that was 100% fun, fresh, and whimsical for this magical time of year. The candy cane striping really speaks to my inner child (as well as my actual child) and the pink pockets of cranberries within burst with flavor and delight.<\/p>\n

I used to bake these flavors together in cupcake form at my old bakery near the holidays. It\u2019s been more than a few years, and I am so excited to be bringing them back and sharing the recipe with you all this season. I like to add a touch of ground cloves, but cinnamon would be a fine substitute. I used to pair the cupcakes with champagne buttercream for a festive twist on a mimosa-inspired flavour combination, but today I opted for white chocolate buttercream with a hint orange. I was a bit hesitant myself, but the smooth, creamy white chocolate pairs quite nicely with just a touch of fresh orange zest. If white chocolate and citrus flavors together don\u2019t appeal to you, then I won\u2019t be mad if you leave one of them out. Or go for the champagne version<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n
