I love a good coffee cake, okay well cake in general, but coffee cake to me is just a simple cake that’s not loaded with frosting. White Chocolate Cranberry Coffee Cake is so simple to make, and tastes great with obviously a cup of coffee but would pair nicely with a glass of eggnog too.

 

Yes, you read that correctly whole cranberry sauce, yes the canned stuff. In fact, you can use the regular old jellied version too without whole cranberries.

 

 

Perfect for an evening dessert, casual weekend brunch or as part of a holiday celebration this cake is simply yummy. Weekend brunch is my choice, with a delicious cup of coffee served while it is still slightly warm. You can add a very simple glaze on top, I personally prefer a drizzle of white chocolate sauce (find it in the ice cream topping section).
