Cranberry cake
Torta di mirtilli rossi
This cranberry cake is more Scandinavian than Italian given that cranberries do not grow in the south. Still, it is lovely for breakfast or tea in the cold months. The marzipan keeps it moist for days. Cardamom and orange peel add a spicy oriental touch. And the dried cranberries and raisins dot colour, texture and acidity. All in all an easy cranberry cake recipe, when you are in the mood for something sweet, snug and comfy.

I’m scrolling down through my feed – and the word marzipan jumps out from the pages. And so this sounds delicious – though it’s hard to find marzipan in grocery stores in Canada.
