And for that reason,  I decided to share this Christmas dessert recipe already NULL days after Thanksgiving. Since it’s proper concept for winter holidays – Christmas Cranberry Pound Cake can be a huge recipe to open the season of winter holidays, too.

I adapted this recipe from Bobby’s Baking Blog. Fist of all,  I doubled the quantity of cranberries which I placed within the dough and after a bit thinking. Also, I decided to throw Orange Zest out of the recipe since it’s now not my „cup of tea“ .

And for the glaze, rather of milk and powdered sugar, my concept was a mixture of cream cheese and powdered sugar over the entire Pound Cake with many, many dry Cranberries over the entire cake. However,  after just a quick time within the kitchen, on my desk was my fairly  Christmas Cranberry Pound Cake.
