This cake is easy to make on a lazy day and is a guaranteed delicious dessert that can be enjoyed for several days if you can make it last that long. It’s also wonderful for fall weather and the holidays.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 cup mixed dried fruit bits
- 1 cup pistachios
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (8 ounces) of jellied cranberry sauce
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- Sweetened whipped cream, optional
Directions:
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the first 6 ingredients. In another bowl, combine the next 7 ingredients. Add cranberry mixture to flour mixture; stir until smooth. Add dried fruit and pistachios.
Step 2: Pour batter into a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish; place in a 6-qt. slow cooker. Lay a 14×12-in. piece of parchment over top of the slow cooker under the lid. Cook, covered, on high until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 2-1/2 hours. Remove the dish from the slow cooker to a wire rack. Cool for 30 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
Step 3: Cut into wedges with a serrated knife; if desired, serve with sweetened whipped cream.
