Meet the Cook: At the summer tourist resort in Ontario my husband and I operate, we prepare all the meals for our guests. So I'm always trying out new recipes. Some of my favorites are from my CW issues. We have two children, 22 and 18. -Sheree Swistun, Winnipeg, Manitoba

Cranberry-Orange Pound Cake Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 65 min. + cooling

Yield: 16 Servings

25 65 90

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups butter, softened
2-3/4 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1-1/2 cups chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
VANILLA BUTTER SAUCE:
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and orange peel. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Fold in cranberries.
Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 350° for 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and flour. Stir in cream and butter; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla. Serve warm over cake. Yield: 16 servings (1-1/2 cups sauce).

I've made this cake several times and it is wonderful!! My daughter loves it without the cranberries so I usually make her a small loaf pan without cranberries.
