If a white Christmas isn't in the cards this year, you can still dive into this snow-white cranberry Christmas cake. (Even if it does snow, bake it anyway!) Fresh cranberries, studded throughout like ornaments, provide a tart pop to balance the dense vanilla cake and tangy cream cheese frosting. Cranberries are also candied and sprinkled on top for a little extra sparkle. This cake skips the fussy tiers in favor of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish so it's extra easy to bake, frost, and serve. Bonus: It travels well too! Just be sure to hold off on the frosting if you're going a long distance—it shouldn't sit out more than two hours once frosted. Make this one of your go-to Christmas cakes—it's especially perfect for a daytime potluck or office party.
