Tuesdays with Dorie: Not-Just-For Thanksgiving Cranberry Shortbread

Tender, buttery and sort-of-flaky shortbread sandwich a homemade sweet n' tart cranberry jelly.
Now that's a dessert!

This Not-Just-for-Thanksgiving Cranberry Shortbread Cake is by far one of the most unique recipes in Dorie Greenspan's cookbook, Baking From My Home to Yours.

And let me tell you friends, it was a winner! You must make it this holiday season because it is just as festive as it is delicious.

You can snag the recipe from Jessica's blog, Singleton in the Kitchen. You'll also need to check out the Leave Your Link post on the Tuesdays with Dorie site, because you may just find some bloggers that filled their shortbread with other jams, jellies and even caramelized apples!

Your cake looks delicious! I really is such a festive dessert, but too good for only Thanksgiving!

I could have eaten the whole thing all by myself.

It was a good cake, wasn't it? I used raspberries, as Thanksgiving is over for me, and cranberries aren't my fave. I'll be making this again, I'm sure, with other fillings.

Another home run. Dorie clearly knows her business.

I wasn't necessarily all excited about this recipe based on the name and description, but the sweet shortbread combined with the fresh cranberries were a hit. Good work, Becky.
