How to Make Lemon Ginger Oatmeal Cake W Cranberries
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture is fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries and the zest of 1 lemon.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup wheat bran, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 teaspoon white vinegar, let sit for 5 minutes).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the cranberry-ginger mixture.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-4 tablespoons milk to create a thin glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
- Garnish with chopped candied ginger (optional) and enjoy!
