How to Make Glazed Cranberry Mini Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups well.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth.
  7. Fold in the dried cranberries, walnuts, and 2/3 cup of the white chocolate chips.
  8. Fill each muffin cup about 7/8 full.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the mini cakes cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the glaze: Place the remaining 1 cup of white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle with vegetable oil.
  12. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chips are melted and smooth.
  13. Once the mini cakes are completely cool, drizzle the white chocolate glaze over the top.
  14. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
