Are you looking for a delicious and healthier treat to enjoy this holiday? I’ve got you covered! This Paleo Cranberry Orange Cake is perfectly moist, bursting with sweet orange flavor and tart cranberries. A sugar-free glaze makes this cake so elegant.
Cranberry and orange flavored baked goods are my favorite during the holidays. Making a healthier cranberry orange cake version that tastes just as amazing is a dream! This cake is perfectly paired with freshly squeezed orange juice, orange peel, and cranberries. Fresh cranberries soften, and burst as the cake bakes. The cake is made gluten free, dairy-free and sweetened with coconut sugar. The coconut sugar balances the tartness of the cranberries. I love using it, as it adds a depth of flavor to my baking goods and it’s paleo friendly!
I picked up all the ingredients to make this recipe at my local Sprouts because their selection of paleo ingredients is so good!

PALEO FRIENDLY GLAZE
To make a paleo friendly glaze, I love using xylitol. It looks and tastes just like sugar! To make it, you will have to first powder it using a high speed blender. Once the consistency is powdered, mix it with the orange juice and there you have it, a beautiful drizzly glaze that’s free of refined sugar. You can also use coconut sugar instead of xylitol, however the glaze will be a bit darker in color.
