Soft cake with clementines and cranberries {vegan}

Une barquette de cranberries trouvée à l’épicerie bio commençait à se sentir bien seule dans mon frigo (ça y est je commence à faire des rimes…). Et là je me suis rappelée que j’avais mis dans un coin de ma tête l’association cranberries-clémentines, alors après avoir hésité sur la forme de ce dessert (ça a failli être une tarte rustique), j’ai eu envie d’un gâteau moelleux. Vous savez ce genre de gâteau imbibé d’un sirop après cuisson pour le rendre encore plus… soft !!! La douceur de la clémentine associé à l’acidité de la cranberry fraiche, I can tell you that we loved eating this cake. And then it’s peak season for Corsican clementines PGI and we’re not very far away, so you might as well take advantage of them by cooking them, even if it's still very good just like that !
A lovely fall/winter classic, perfect with a good cup of tea (or a coffee of course !) and a blanket (yes because I don't know about you, but I always have cold feet in winter !).

11.12.15With a daughter who is intolerant to eggs and me who must avoid dairy products, ce gâteau est parfait, j’ai remplacé les canneberges fraîches par quelques sèches et j’ai ajouté une poignées de cerises surgelées, it was really good, ce week-end je vais faire un essais avec du jus de poire et des petits morceaux de chocolat.
Emilie
15.12.15Oh je suis ravie qu’il t’ai plu et c’est une super idée de le décliner avec d’autres saveurs !
