Cranberry Pound Cake

Admit it! Cake has got to be categorized as a holiday staple. There would be no holiday without cake. A good pound cake always does the trick. Since its the holidays cranberries are the perfect addition. Great flavor and good holiday color.

Over the holidays, I like to give out little baked goods as gifts. I bake the cutest little mini loafs and wrap them to share with my friends and extended family. Sort of like a seasons greetings , prelude to Christmas treat! Always appreciated and always enjoyed. Perfect for that cuddle in front of the fire place with a nice hot cup of tea.
