How to Make Cranberry Cornmeal Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 1/4 cup (57g) of butter and pour into a 9-inch round baking pan. Tilt to coat the sides.
  3. Sprinkle 3/4 cup (150g) of brown sugar evenly over the melted butter.
  4. Evenly distribute 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen cranberries and 1/2 cup (60g) raisins over the brown sugar.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 3/4 cup (170g) softened butter and 1 1/2 cups (300g) packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  7. Beat in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, 1 cup (120g) cornmeal, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  9. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup (240ml) milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  10. Carefully pour the batter over the cranberry and raisin mixture in the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
  11. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving platter.
  13. Serve warm and enjoy!
