  • Recipe Description:

    Perfect balance of sweet and tart. This is a perfect recipe to make for company, brunch or a potluck. There won't be any left. I purchase fresh cranberries in bulk when they are in season and keep them in the freezer to use all year long. Cranberries are good source of Vitamin E, Vitamin K, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C and Manganese.

    Recipe Instructions:

    Combine the sourdough starter, flour and melted oil in a medium bowl. This should form a dense dough. Cover and leave at room temperature for 8-12 hours.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x9 inch glass dish.

    Place dough ball into a food processor. Add egg, sucanat or rapadura, orange juice and zest, baking soda and salt. Process for a minute or until a batter forms. Alternately, you can place the dough ball in a bowl and add the other ingredients and "process" with your hands by squishing the dough with your fingers until no more lumps remain and all the ingredients are combined.

    Prepare the topping by cutting together the butter, flour, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in the walnuts. Set aside.

    Pour the batter into the greased dish sprinkle the cranberries on top and then sprinkle on the topping. Bake for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    I would like to make sourdough carrot cake. Do you have any suggestions of using this recipe and subbing it to make the carrot cake? Thank you! Reply
    • Hmmmm. After fermenting overnight, add all the ingredients as called for with the following changes: 1/2 cup shredded carrot, 1 heaping tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, 1/2 tsp allspice, 1/4 tsp cloves, 1/8 tsp nutmeg (maybe play with spices as your tastes permit). Omit cranberries. I would still add the orange juice because I think it would be tasty in the carrot cake, and of course the nuts on top...or just fold them in and omit the rest of the crumble topping ingredients. If you like raisins in your carrot cake, add in 1/4 cup at the end. This only makes a 9x9 pan, so that's why I would only put in 1/2 cup carrot. I have not used this recipe as a carrot cake yet, so this is just what I would start with. Please let us know if you try it and then share your recipe here on the site for us all. :) Reply
