Cranberry Christmas Cake
I found this recipe in a baking magazine over fifteen years
ago. It was such a hit with the family, we’ve made it ever since for the
holidays. The dense, sweet cake is the perfect backdrop for the bright, tart
berries, and it’s so pretty with a dollop of whipped cream on the top.
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
¾ cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
2/3 cup chopped pecans
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with sugar until slightly
thickened and light in color, about 5 minutes. Add butter and extract-beat 2
minutes. Stir in flour just until combined. Stir in the cranberries and pecans.
Spread in a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes or
until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve with
whipped cream id desired. Yield: 16-20 servings.

Heat level 4
Becca Huntley’s produced the Lyndale Park
Player’s over-the-top Christmas pageant for ten years. The beloved Minneapolis
tradition is the theatre’s main fundraiser. But this year’s production is almost
canceled when their director disappears into rehab at the last minute. Good
thing his directing partner steps in to save the day. Except for the minor fact
that he hates everything about Christmas.
Jack Whittaker wiped the Twin Cities off his shoe with his
graduation tassel and never looked back. But duty compels him to fulfill
Tyler’s promise to direct the show. Even though it means working side-by-side
with Becca, the girl he always wanted, lost to Ty, but never forgot.
It’ll take more than a few handfuls of tinsel to soften
Jack’s heart toward Becca’s favorite holiday. Steamy kisses that melt the snow
right off his boots are a step in the right direction. They’ll both discover
that Christmas is about making each other's dreams come true. But will doing so
destroy their chance at a happily-ever-after together?
