    Thanksgiving: Citrus Pound Cake with Cranberry Syrup

    Source of Recipe


    Real Simple, November 2006


    List of Ingredients


    • 4 large eggs
    • ½ tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 tsp grated orange zest
    • 1 tsp grated lemon zest
    • 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
    • 2¼ cups granulated sugar
    • ½ tsp kosher salt
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
    • ½ cup fresh orange juice
    • 2 Tbsp orange liqueur (optional)


    Instructions


    1. Heat oven to 325° F. Butter a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan.
      In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and zests. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium-high, beat the butter for 2 minutes. Add 1¼ cups of the sugar and the salt, and beat for 2 minutes. Slowly add the egg mixture. Beat for 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low and slowly add the flour.

    2. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Using a knife, loosen the cake from the pan. Invert it onto the rack. Turn it over again onto a serving plate.

    3. In a saucepan over medium heat, simmer the cranberries, orange juice, and remaining sugar until the berries burst, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the syrup into a bowl and stir in the liqueur (if using). Slice the cake and serve with the warm syrup.

      Serves 8 to 12
