I may have been an event planner in another life because I love to host.
And my favorite part of the weeks-long planning process is the desserts.

After everyones had their fill of the main meal, I like to entice them with an impressive dessert.
During the warmer months, I might rely on something fresh like ourOatmeal Cookie Fruit PizzaorStrawberry Poke Cake.
I knew I had to try the cake for myselfand the results did not disappoint.
Heres how you make Inas Easy Cranberry & Apple Cake.
Youll need your oven preheated to 325F and a 10-inch pie pan.
Set that aside while you prepare the batter.
Grab your electric mixture and beat together extra-large eggs on medium-high speed.
Ina recommends using a paddle attachment for this step.
Next, add granulated sugar, butter, vanilla extract and sour cream until combined.
Lastly, add in the flour and salt.
Be sure to do this step at low speed so the flour doesn’t scatter all over the place.
Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar, which will create a delicious crust.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.
When it’s finished, a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Plus, the texture of the cake top sparks a memory of those festive holiday cakes.
