Christmas Cranberry Pound Cake

Thinking about Christmas recipes ? Then you should think about tasty pound cake with cranberries and white chocolate and a beautiful white glaze. However, you simply have to try this heavenly Christmas Cranberry Pound Cake !

Also, I don’t know if you knew about this, but to bloggers, the holidays begin a few weeks before the holidays really come. Of course, those of you who follow your blog and want to find inspiration in your favorite pages need at least a few days to solve any dilemmas they could have. That means that your Thanksgiving begins as soon as Halloween ends, and that you are already thinking about your Christmas recipe as you are cutting your Thanksgiving turkey 🙂 Instead of baking a peanut butter cheesecake or a magic cake you try to come up with more fitting desserts.

And for that reason,  I decided that the search for my first Christmas recipe begins already two days after Thanksgiving. After countless answers about my Pumpkin Lasagna which made a real „headline“ for the last few days, I’ve already have an Idea for the coming winter holidays – Christmas Cranberry Pound Cake.

But, after my search on Pinterest, I found a really good starting point – a beautiful Christmas Cranberry Pound Cake from the site Bobbies Baking blog. The look is just what I imagined, and with a few little modifications, it will be a great recipe to open the season of winter holidays, too.

Ingredients
