I found myself with some Trader Joe's Cranberry Orange relish to use in my freezer. Since it is well past any holiday featuring turkey, I tried finding a recipe for a cake. All of the recipes I previewed looked like they would be high in the potential failure department. Whole fresh cranberries introduce too much water and leave the cake gummy. Cranberry swirl looks unappealing. So I made this. Changes I made, 1. had to add whipping cream to the one cup of sour cream I had and let it rest until thick. 2. I added orange extract and zest to my typical icing using powdered sugar, pinch of salt and flavored vodka instead of water. No butter or milk in it. And mine only needed 60 minutes to bake in a standard Bundt pan. Very moist and flavorful!

Wonderful cake! Delicious butter flavor, we loved the addition of almond extract. Even my fussy children who enjoy icing more than cake enjoyed this cake!!Made as directed with a can of organic cranberry sauce, which isn't as syrupy as regular canned cranberry sauce, and it worked very well. Omitted the pecans. No problems with sticking. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I made this this wonderful cake using cranberry jelly in place of whole cranberry sauce as that is all I had in my pantry, also I made the mistake of adding in 2 cups sour cream, it still turned out wonderful, I am going to make it again and add in some chopped frozen cranberries to the batter also, thanks for sharing hon!
