One of the reasons that the baking sisters started this blog was to stay connected when I moved across the country. However far I get away from NYC, my heart is always there and I am heart broken to watch what is going on in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Please consider making a donation to the Red Cross, Bend the Arc or the Educational Alliance (they do lots of fabulous work on the lower east side, both to address immediate needs and find long term solutions to poverty).
One of the best things about New York City is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and one of our family Thanksgiving traditions is to go to the parade (outside, not watching on TV or in someone's apartment like wimps) and then go home, frozen, and eat hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies. As we got older, we were less interested in going to the parade, but the hot chocolate and cookie tradition remained. This year, we are taking my son to the parade for the first time, and we will undoubtably need that hot chocolate and cookies afterwards.
However, if you are not as wedded to this particular tradition, this cake would make an excellent Thanksgiving morning treat. The tart cranberries are seasonally appropriate, and they offset the sweetness of the cake nicely. You can make it ahead and it freezes nicely, so you don't have to add it to your list of things to make on Thanksgiving day. Also, this is technically called "bread" so you can eat it for breakfast. You can find the recipe here on the Baking Bites blog.
