A delicious smooth cake for the Easter days! To make this cake extra smooth, I added some Dutch Eggnog. Since this also adds some extra sweetness, it’s great to add some lemon zest as well!
If you don’t have any eggnog, or you would like to make an alcohol-free version, you can replace the eggnog by sour cream or regular custard.

The Batter

- Mix the dried cranberries with 2 tablespoons of flour. When the cranberries are all covered with some flour, you can add them to the batter. Stir the batter for a last time.
Baking
