While spending time in the kitchen stretching and folding tomorrow's bread, I made a scone cake with some of my frozen cranberries and candied orange peel. This is a variation on a recipe I have posted Here. I used the same recipe exchanging the lemon zest for a cup of mixed, candied orange peel, and whole fresh frozen cranberries. I tossed the cranberries and orange peel in a small amount, apx. 1 TBsp. flour before folding them into the mixed batter. I like a scone cake shaping because it's attractive, whole or sliced and keeps well, with the added plus of less handling, which makes for a lovely tender moist crumb. I baked this one about 8 minutes longer because of the added frozen cranberries.

Yummm! If I hadn't just pulled a Cinnamon-Raisin-Walnut bread out of the freezer, I'd make scones tomorrow. Sounds like a great recipe, Sylvia. And looks moist inside, crispy outside. Thanks.

I hope to make a CRW bread very soon...lucky you getting to pop one out of the freezer.
If you try this recipe you might like that it uses only a baking powder rather than a baking soda and baking powder..I won't go into detail about that..
I can't tell you how much I love fresh cranberries in sweet breads, so this was a quick fix for the craving. Mike's already had 3 slices...he's all carbed up for his race tomorrow.

Hello Sylvia,
Another lovely orange-flavored creation!
Truly beautiful with all of that vibrant color and crunchy, turbinado sugar? crust.
Orange and cranberries taste so good together...you bake really wonderful things!

I almost used my turbinado crystals, instead of the clear sugar crystals..being the sugar holic I'am...I keep a good supply of sugar choices 'lol'..brushing the crust with some of the same whipping cream and then sprinkling the sugar does give the top a nice little sweet crunch to go with the tart of the cranberries.

Mmmm, cranberries and orange. Excellent combo Sylvia, I'd love to try some!
Orange and lemon are a favorite of mine, I can't think of anything I don't like with them.
