How to Make Canned Cranberry Chocolate Orange Cakes For Gifts
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease eight 10-ounce cans.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Set aside for 15 minutes to allow the cranberries to release their juices.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and the zest of 1 orange.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the cranberry mixture, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cans.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the cans for 10 minutes before running a thin knife around the edges to loosen.
- Carefully invert the cakes onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, wrap the cakes individually in plastic wrap and store overnight in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months.
- When ready to gift, decorate the cans with festive tin foil, ribbons, and holiday stickers. Return the cooled cakes to the cans and seal the ends with tin foil.
