Cranberry Cake

Cranberries usually appear during the holidays, when most of us are gorging on too many sugary sweets. However, it’s the tart taste of cranberries that this cake highlights. Made entirely with maple syrup,  a touch of turmeric, the cake can eaten for breakfast or for an afternoon tea break. Or top it with whipped cream for a more decadent dessert.
