This cranberry ricotta cake couldn't be easier to make! No fancy equipment is required for this easy holiday dessert recipe.

Cranberry Ricotta Cake

((113 g) unsalted butter)

vanilla extract

oz whole milk ricotta (at room temperature)

eggs (at room temperature)

sugar

all-purpose flour

baking powder

fine sea salt

cranberries

water

Grand Marnier

unsalted butter (melted)

In a small bowl, use a fork to combine the ingredients until clumpy. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Streusel Topping

In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes or so, until the cranberries are soft and burst and most of the liquid has evaporated. Cool to room temperature.

Cranberry Topping

Preheat an oven to 350 F. Grease a 10x3" cake pan and line with a circle of parchment paper.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Continue to cook until the butter is golden brown, but not too dark. Transfer to a heat-proof bowl and cool. For more detailed instructions on how to brown butter, scroll up to the blog post.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and the brown butter and fold together until the batter is smooth and there are no streaks of flour. Spread the batter in an even layer in the prepared pan and top with the cranberries. Use a fork to break up the bits of streusel and sprinkle over the top.

Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack to room temperature before removing it from the pan and slicing. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

Ricotta Cake

It takes longer to preheat the oven than to put these 3-ingredient almond crackle cookies together. They&#39;re a simple pleasure that can be made last minute.

Dorie Greenspan&#39;s 3-Ingredient Almond Crackle Cookies

(75 grams) sugar

(125 grams) sliced almonds (blanched

Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat it to 325° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Have a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon at hand.


Whisk the sugar and egg together in a bowl for a minute or so, until well blended and just a bit thick. Add the almonds and whisk until evenly coated with the mixture. You need to use the batter right away — it separates as it stands. In fact, it’s good to give the batter a stir or two as you’re spooning it out.

Each cookie needs 2 teaspoons of batter. Scoop the batter onto the baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between the mounds of batter, and flatten each mound with the back of a fork.

Bake for about 20 minutes, rotating the pans midway through baking. The cookies should be toasted-almond beige, and dry and crackled on top. Transfer the baking sheets to racks and let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes. Carefully lift the free-form cookies with a wide spatula.

Note: If your kitchen is cool and dry, you can keep these in a tin or paper bag overnight. Keep them longer, and they might soften, a condition easily reversed: Place the cookies on a lined baking sheet and warm them in a 350° F oven for about 6 minutes; cool on the sheet.

In this recipe I&#39;ve found that a contrast in temperature and flavor—in the form of cool, soft vanilla ice cream—is wonderful relief against the hot Lava Cake.

Clementine Chocolate Lava Cakes

chocolate

eggs

(scant) granulated sugar

kosher salt

clementine

olive oil

Confectioners’ sugar, for garnish (optional)

Vanilla ice cream,

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease four 6-ounce ramekins and place them on a sheet pan.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave and set aside to cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, clementine zest, and olive oil until light and fluffy (you don't have to go overboard here; just incorporate all of the ingredients—though, if you have the wherewithal in you, a little air in the eggs now will result in a deliciously chewy-edged lava cake later). Fold in the chocolate.

Pour batter into the ramekins and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until just cooked. (The tops should be slightly cracked, the insides hot and gooey.) Dust with powdered sugar before serving, or top with vanilla ice cream.

Sunny citrus cake with tangy cream cheese &amp;amp; yogurt frosting comes together in one bowl with just a few steps. This easy cake is for all seasons &amp;amp; all occasions!

Citrus Cake From Yasmin Khan

(225 grams) softened unsalted butter,

(225 grams) all-purpose flour

(200 grams) granulated sugar

eggs,

salt

(55 grams) full-fat plain yogurt

orange zest

orange juice

(80 grams) confectioners’ sugar

(350 grams) full-fat cream cheese

lemon juice

Orange and unwaxed lemon, to zest

Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter two 8-inch (20cm) round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.

Place all the ingredients for the cake together in a large bowl and beat just until the streaks of flour disappear—an electric mixer will make quick work of it, or you can easily beat by hand, especially if the butter is quite soft.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake until lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.

To make the frosting, mix together the confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese, yogurt, and orange and lemon juices and beat until smooth. Place this in the refrigerator to chill and firm up while the cake cools.

When the cake is completely cool, use an offset spatula to spread half the frosting on one cake. Place the other on top and cover with the rest of the frosting. Finish by decorating with a scattering of orange and lemon zests (see Author Notes above for tips).

Unlike in skillet-baked styles of cornbread that can take a long time, this hot water cornbread recipe acts as a fast-forward button.

Hot Water Cornbread From Todd Richards

(20 ounces) water

(about 8 1/2 ounces) plain yellow cornmeal (finely ground, not medium or coarse)

baking soda

nutmeg

cayenne pepper (or less if you’d like it less spicy)

popcorn kernels, popped

(about 6 ounces) buttermilk,

(4 ounces) vegetable oil

(about 2 1/8 ounces) all-purpose flour

Bring the water and salt to a boil in a saucepan over high heat.


Stir together the cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper in a medium-size heatproof bowl. Add the boiling water, and stir until combined. Let stand 5 minutes.


Fold the popped corn kernels and buttermilk into the cornmeal mixture. Let stand 5 minutes.


Heat the oil in a skillet over medium. With floured hands, shape 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cornmeal mixture into a 2 1/2-inch round, and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining cornmeal mixture to make about 20 pieces. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
