White Chocolate Cranberry Cake This perfectly balanced white chocolate cranberry cake is made with tart cranberries, vanilla cake, and a dreamy white chocolate frosting! What ingredients will you need for this cranberry layer cake? This white chocolate cranberry cake calls for a fair amount of ingredients, but most of them are basics like flour, sugar, butter, etc.
And while you might need a few extra ingredients, the result tastes worthy of a bakery! You’ll never believe how easy it is to make the cute sparkling cranberries that finish off this cranberry cake. You’ll need fresh cranberries, sugar, and water and that’s about it! You’ll make a simple syrup out of the sugar and water, boil it and then add the cranberries to the mixture. This will cook them slightly and encase them in a crunchy, sugary coating. Making a homemade cake can seem daunting enough, let alone also making homemade frosting and then putting the two together in a cute way?
Luckily, I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve to make homemade layer cakes a whole lot easier! Make sure your cake layers are fully cooled before frosting: If there’s one rule you follow, let it be this. I’m impatient too, but if you try to frost a warm cake it will simply slip and slide apart and leave you with a mess. Even off the tops of your cakes if they domed: This vanilla cake recipe should have a very even rise, but sometimes it will get a slight dome at the top if your pan is darker or if your oven is running hot. If you do have a domed cake I recommend evening off the top of your cake to make it flat. This will make it easier and neater to stack.
