White Chocolate and Cranberry Loaf Cake...
Ingredients:
170g Self-Raising Flour
170g Caster Sugar
3 Medium Eggs
115g Unsalted Butter
75g White Chocolate
50g Cranberries
1tsp Baking powder
50ml Milk
Decoration:
40g Melted white chocolate
20g Cranberries
20g White Chocolate chunks
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper.
​
-
Start by creaming together the caster sugar and butter using an electric whisk.
-
Once combined, add in the 3 beaten eggs and mix the ingredients together.
-
Next, sift in the flour and baking powder and on a slow mixing speed, thoroughly mix the ingredients to form a smooth cake mixture.
-
Now add in the milk and continue mixing on a slow speed.
-
Whilst mixing the ingredients, you can prepare the white chocolate and cranberries to add to the mixture.
-
Chop the white chocolate into reasonable size chunks before adding them to the mixture, also ensure the cranberry pieces are a suitable size before adding them in (I cut some of the larger pieces in half).
-
Using a spatula, mix all the ingredients together until the chocolate and cranberries are equally distributed throughout.
-
Now, pour the cake mixture into the previously prepared loaf tin and bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes. After 30 minutes of baking, I turned the oven down to 160 degrees and continued to bake the cake on a lower heat.
-
Having baked the cake, allow it to cool on a wire rack.
-
Whilst cooling, melt the white chocolate in a bowl over boiling water. Once melted, using a spoon, drizzle the white chocolate over the cake and finish by sprinkling white chocolate chunks and cranberry pieces on top.
​
Enjoy!
