My favorite thing about this cranberry orange cake is the gorgeous pink color and decadent creamy texture. It’s packed with fresh cranberries and flavored perfectly with orange. The orange flavor is very clearly there, but not at all overwhelming. It makes the perfect combination of sweet, tart and tangy.
It’s also healthy and so easy to make. Just throw all of the crust ingredients in your food processor, blend up the filling, and then assemble and freeze. Simply defrost this cake before you are ready to serve it.
As usual ➛ no-bake, raw, vegan, dairy free, gluten free, refined sugar free and 100% delicious. I really hope you enjoy making this recipe.
