Cranberry cake

This is the first time I tried to make the cake from the scratch. Everytime we bring instant cake mix with different flavors from the grocery store. I thought its better to buy instant mix with different flavors to prepare cake for two people. Its true... but we can also make cake easily with the resourses we have.

We have dried cranberries and raisins in hand. So, I prepared Cranberry+raisin cake. I added raisins to decrease the tartness of cranberries by the sweetness of raisins.

The recipe follows...


Ingredients:
All-purpose flour - 1 cup
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Ground cinnamon - 1/2 tsp
Butter - Unsalted, softened - 1/4 cup
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Eggs - 1
Milk - 1/2 cup
Vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp
Dried cranberries + Raisins -1/2 cup

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray the Bundt pan lightly with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In a large mixing bowl, mix milk, butter and sugar. Mix in egg and vanilla.
4. Mix in flour mixture in two additions alternately with milk, ending with flour. Stir in dried cranberries and raisins. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
5. The lovely bundt cake was set to bake in the 350ºF oven for 15-20 min or until a toothpick or uncooked sphagetti inserted into the cake comes out clean. The tentalizing tendrils of aroma coming from the oven will hint at how great this cake would be.
6. Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes and then remove from pan.

We like to eat cake as it is without any Icing or Sauce on it because we like the flavors of vanilla, egg and milk coming out of the baked cake :-)
