Description

This Cranberry Sauce Swirl Pound Cake features a moist and tender crumb enhanced by Greek yogurt and vegetable oil, with vibrant swirls of tangy cranberry sauce throughout. Perfectly baked in a loaf pan, this cake offers a delightful balance of sweet and tart flavors, ideal for festive occasions or as a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 + ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup cranberry sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 1 lb. loaf pan (8×4 inches) with parchment paper, ensuring the parchment extends over the longer sides for easy cake removal after baking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
  3. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the eggs, full-fat Greek yogurt, and sugar until smooth and well incorporated. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, then continue beating until the mixture is homogeneous.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating just until combined, approximately 30 to 60 seconds. Take care not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half of the cranberry sauce on scattered dollops over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, then add the remaining cranberry sauce in small dollops. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the cranberry sauce through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  6. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 60 to 70 minutes. The cake is done when the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven and set it on a wire rack. Let the cake cool in the pan for one hour. Afterward, lift the cake out using the parchment overhang and allow it to cool completely on the wire rack for an additional one to two hours before slicing and serving.
