Sour Cream Cranberry Cake with Chocolate Ganache is a fresh cranberry and sour cream cake topped with milk chocolate ganache.
Sour cream and cranberry together, it sounds weird, isn’t it?? Even I was septical to try the recipe but believe the combination is heavenly. It tasted amazing with that little tanginess from fresh cranberries and sweetness from the chocolate ganache.
I had some fresh cranberries and I was looking for a Christmas bake recipe and then I found so many recipes for cranberry sour cream coffee cake. Then I made my eggless version and topped it with ganache.

Oh that surely looks and sounds sinful Sapana..
I am drooling over this cake Sapna , the ganache looks so sinful , seriously feel like eating a piece of this cake .
Those beautiful cake slices with chocolate ganache tempts me a lot. Fresh cranberries in a cake,wow am loving it.
I guess the ganache would beautifully cut into the tartness of the cranberries! Didn’t get them since I was not sure how I would have them… but this cake looks like a good enough reason I must get them next time I find them on the shelves!
Sometimes I feel envious that you people get all those fresh berries to try in your bakes 🙁
That thick layer of ganache on the cranberry cake is prompting me to pick it up….Aww! If I could pick.
What an interesting combination of ingredients for a cake Sapana. It looks so inviting.
that ganache will definitely put these cakes over the top delicious
