How to Make It
Step 1
Add the ground almonds, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger to a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. You may adjust the quantities of spices as desired to suit your personal tastes.
Step 2
Bring the butter to room temperature so that it is soft and easy to mix. Add the butter to a large mixing bowl along with the erythritol. Beat together to combine until creamy and smooth.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a deep loose bottom 6-inch cake tin. Crack the eggs one at a time into the butter mixture. Beat each egg into the butter until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Add the almond milk, orange juice, vanilla extract, and zest to the bowl with the egg and butter mixture. Stir everything well to combine. You may adjust the level of orange or vanilla as desired to suit your tastes.
Step 5
Tip the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Beat everything together well to combine until smooth. You should have a thick yet pourable cake batter.
Step 6
Finely chop the dried cranberries. Add the cranberries to the cake batter. Stir well to combine so the fruit is distributed evenly throughout the mixture.
Step 7
Spoon the batter into the prepared cake tin. Transfer the tin to the oven and bake for 50 minutes. After this time, the cake should be risen and golden, and a skewer should come out of the center clean. Set aside to cool in its tin, then slice to serve.
