Boozy Cranberry Cobbler Cake

A beautifully textured cake spiked with just the right amount of bourbon and sweetened with maple syrup to celebrate Thanksgiving with a touch of sweetness. Happy Thanksgiving to all of my U.S readers!

And of course, I couldn’t resist and had to make something for you guys, which of course, I don’t mind at all… because I get to eat this glorious dessert.

So, what is it? Well, it’s a hybrid creation. A cross between a cobbler, and a cake. A cobbler cake. Full of cranberries that ‘I just don’t knowwww what to doooo with ma’seeeelffff…’

You’re welcome.

And it’s exactly what I wanted. My gift to you…

I accidentally on purpose fell over and spiked it with some bourbon — sweetened it with maple syrup AND brown sugar for extra caramel-y fudginess — and topped it with some frozen vanilla bean yoghurt. Coz that’s how I roll on Thanksgiving…

The tartness of the cranberries, with the sweetness of the maple syrup, and the hit of bourbon….well, it was a combinational hybrid of pure ‘R’ rated joy: ‘R’ stands for RAD of course.

I have another confession to make. (I seem to do these often. I needa priest). I never in my life tried Cranberries. I know! The shame!

I was born over in the U.S, in NY City… and never tried a freaking cranberry.

Well. It was about time. And in a cake was HELLO.

And I couldn’t stop picking at them. Especially drenched in Bourbon. The ultimate of dessert recipes on this entire blog is this cake.

In less than 50 minutes: from start to finish, I had this on the table with the frozen yoghurt running all over and absorbing through the cake to make it even more Cranberry-luscious than it already was.

The first time I tried this was with whisky. I had no bourbon. It was still good, but the Bourbon takes the cake, so to speak.

The warm aromas had me feeling like breaking out into a dance. On the tables. With a disco ball. Because really, is there any.other.way.to.partay? No.

So my fellow U.S party people! Happy Thanksgiving and make-this-cake!

    What do you of the addition of Bailey’s in place of bourbon? Maybe that would not work as the bourbon or rum acts to masserat the cranberries. I just love Bailey’s!

    Hi Karina!

    This looks DELICIOUS — can’t wait to try it! Wondering if you think that rum in place of the bourbon would work well? It’s what I have on hand!

    Thanks in advance,
    Amanda

    Wish it was possible to get my hands on fresh cranberries here in Australia. This boozy cobbler cake looks so incredibly delicious!
