Made with leftover cranberry sauce and greek yogurt, the treat was created by Jessica Merchant from the food blog How Sweet It Is. Described as the best holiday breakfast ever, the recipe calls for real cranberry sauce instead of the canned and jellied version. The leftover side is then swirled into cake batter along with a cinnamon streusel. The seasonal bundt cake also features plain greek yogurt. This homemade coffee cake is not only appropriate after Thanksgiving, but leading up to and after any other holiday dinners during this time of year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Leftovers-containing Cakes:** Create innovative recipes that use leftover ingredients in new and exciting ways. - **Holiday Breakfast Treats:** Develop unique and festive breakfast options for the holiday season using seasonal ingredients. - **Upcycling Food:** Find creative ways to repurpose food scraps and leftovers to reduce waste and maximize resources. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Explore new recipes and product development opportunities for incorporating leftover ingredients into baked goods. - **Hospitality and Catering:** Offer innovative breakfast options using seasonal ingredients to enhance the dining experience for guests during the holiday season. - **Sustainability and Waste Management:** Develop strategies and solutions to reduce food waste by upcycling and repurposing leftover ingredients in the culinary industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Thanksgiving-Themed Cake Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/give-thanks-collection.md) - [Mindfully Made Cranberry Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cranberry-sauce.md) - [Coffee Cake Breakfast Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-cake-pancakes.md) - [Gourmet Thanksgiving Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thanksgiving-friendsgiving-cakes.md) - [Vegan Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thanksgiving-leftovers-sandwich.md) - [Coffee Cake Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-swirl-coffee-cake-mix.md) - [Turkey-Resembling Ice Cream Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turkey-cake.md) - [Roasted Chestnut Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chestnut-cake.md) - [Swirled Pumpkin Bundt Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decadent-swirled-bundt-cakes.md)
