As for September, the main ingredient is "Cream cheese" and I made this cake for nothing but fun !!
Anyway, if you fancy a light and soft (texture) cake..I wouldn't recommend this one.. but if you like a good combination of sour and sweet taste, then it's worth to have a second thought!
Ingredients:
225g butter, softened 250g full fat soft cheese 150g light soft brown sugar (I used light muscovado) 200g caster sugar grated zest of ½ orange 1tsp vanilla essence 4 medium eggs 375g plain flour 2tsp baking powder 200g cranberries, thawed if frozen 225g white chocolate, coarsely chopped 2tbsp orange juice
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180c. Lightly oil and flour a 23cm ring tin. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and cheese with the sugars until light and fluffy. Add the grated zest and vanilla essence and beat until smooth, then beat in the eggs, one at a time and beating well after each addition.
2. Sift the flour and baking powder together and stir into the creamed mixture. Fold in the cranberries and 175g of the white chocolate. Spoon into the prepared tin and bake for 1 hour, or until firm and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin before turning out onto on a wire rack.
3. Melt the remaining chocolate, stir until smooth, then stir in the orange juice and leave to cool until thickened. Transfer the cake to a serving plate and spoon over the white chocolate and orange glaze. Leave to set.
FYI, there are two things that I failed to follow the recipe which you would probably notice..Firstly, I left the cake in the tin too long after taking out from the oven and the cake became darker than it's supposed to be !
And the other mistake is to pour over the chocolate glaze without leaving it to be thickened enough...Fortunately, both mistakes didn't interfere with a taste of the cake !
