Orange Cranberry Cake

Yum

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and my family and I enjoyed a real feast of food.  I cooked for two days so I could make a bunch of dishes for our Thanksgiving lunch.  I also said that I would make two desserts for the dessert table.   Unfortunately, by the time it came to the 2nd dessert, I was tired.  

I looked around for something quick and easy that I could whip into a dessert.  I love to doctor up cake mix because it's almost foolproof.  I had a jar of orange marmalade in the fridge and some dried cranberries so I put it all together to see how it would turn out.  You can call it one of my cake experiments.  I didn't know if it would be a hit or a miss, but it turned out to be a hit.  Hooray!

Sometimes all you need is a little imagination and some trusty ingredients when you are tired and in need of some sweet inspiration.  This cake was a perfect little end to our Thanksgiving feast.  Hope you all had a great day too.
