Lemon and Cranberry Cake with Pina Colada Frosting

This cake is a nice twist on lemon loaf. It's quite similar, actually, but the cranberries and frosting give it a little more zing. Enjoy.

You can also use a whisk for this, so no need to clean all sorts of electric equipment.

Preheat oven to 350

In a large bowl, whisk together 5 tbsps salted, softened butter and 3/4 cup sugar, a drop of pure vanilla extract, zest of a lemon. Add 3 small eggs to this and mix well.

In a medium bowl, whisk 1 cup all purpose flour, 1/4 tsp each baking soda and baking powder and 1/3 cup fresh cranberries.

In a measuring cup, put 1/4 cup milk and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice.

Now, mix together ingredients in 3 batches, milk/flour alternating.

Pour in loaf dish and bake for 40minutes.

Remove and brush loaf with mixture of 1-1 tbsp sugar and lemon juice, on all sides.

For the icing:

Mix together 1 cup icing sugar, 1/4 cup shredded coconut, spritz of lemon, 3 tbsps unsalted butter, a sprinkle of vanilla extract and a few drops of yellow food color.

You can judge the consistency and add more amounts of each, depending how you like it.

Spread on cake once it has cooled.

Moolicious!!!
