Description
A warm and flavorful bundt cake featuring the vibrant combination of cranberries and orange, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- Zest of one orange (about 1 tablespoon)
- Juice of one orange
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons sugar (for sprinkling)
- 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 2 – 3 tablespoons water, milk, or orange juice (for icing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the bottom of the pan and half of the cranberries on top. Set aside.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture turns a lovely lemon color, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Pour in the orange juice and add the zest. Mix well, followed by the sour cream until everything is nicely blended.
- Gradually add the flour, salt, and baking powder to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Fold in the remaining cranberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top out evenly. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before gently inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Combine the powdered sugar with water, milk, or orange juice to achieve a smooth icing consistency. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
Notes
This cake can be made ahead of time; store wrapped in plastic wrap. Icing should be added just before serving for ideal presentation.
