Considering trying the following recipe as an experiment:


Cranberry Coffee Cake

Ingredients
1/3 C granulated sugar
1/4 C margarine
1/4 C sour cream
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla OR orange extract

1 egg white

1 1/2 C flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch salt

1/2 C cranberry sauce (cranberry-apricot-ginger in this case)


Directions

0) Preheat the oven to 375F
1) Whip the eggwhite until it forms stiff peaks
2) Cream together the sugar, sour cream, margarine, egg yolk, and vanilla/orange extract
3) Whisk together the dry ingredients
4) Blend the wet mixture into the dry, being careful not to over-mix
5) Fold in the eggwhite
6) fold in the cranberry sauce
7) Grease a loaf pan
8) Pour the batter into the greased pan
9) Bake for about 1 hour (until it passes the fork test)
10) Remove from oven. Allow cake to stand for ten minutes or so before turning onto a wire rack and allowing to cool the rest of the way


Serve sliced with cranberry curd and/or appricot compote and/or sour cream and/or custard-sauce, or whatever else you feel like throwing at it. OR eat it on its own, served with coffee. It would probably work really nicely with a white-chocolate glaze or something, too, come to think of it.


Anyway. We'll see how/if this turns out. :-)
