White Chocolate and Cranberry Cakes
I have quite a lot of cranberries in the freezer left over from Christmas holidays, that have to be used one way or other; and cake is the way forward.
In the past I have been pretty good at preserving, but the last year or so, a lot of what I cannot use has ended up in the freezer, rather than go to the compost bin. Do you have a lot of frozen vegetables or berries in your freezer? I'd like to know.
Well here are a fresh batch of these soft sponge centred cake, every now and again you will bite into a bit of white chocolate laced with bursted sweet-sharp cranberries.
I had originally made these White Chocolate and Cranberry Cakes in the shape of mini loaves for Christmas (see below), hence the Christmas parchment paper.
Recipe will appear here soon.
I usually pick loads of blackberries from hedgerows and freeze them, but we ate them as quickly as we picked them last autumn. I always like to have raspberries in the freezer, but they have all gone too. I wish I had been organised enough to buy in cranberries at christmas because I would love a delicious cranberry and white chocolate cake right now.
ReplyDeleteI think that's the great thing about freezing berries - they are so useful. Actually, looking at the sorry state of my freezer - they are too useful.
Those festive cranberry and white chocolate cakes look gorgeous!
Thank you for letting me now about your frozen berries Gardening Shoe. I missed out on blackberries big time last year :(
DeleteOh wonderful Shaheen, I will be looking out for the recipe.
