Per Request...Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake
2 3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter
1 3/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
zest from an orange
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup orange juice
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup dried cranberries
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 Tbs orange juice
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease and flour a 10 cup bundt pan...set aside
2. In bowl whisk together your flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk together your butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add in your eggs one at a time until blended.
5. Add in your orange zest and vanilla and beat until combined.
6. Into your egg mixture add 1/3 of your flour mixture and mix until blended.
7. Add half you buttermilk, again blend to combine, then repeat with remaining flour and buttermilk.
8. Lastly add in your orange juice and beat until just incorporated. Lastly fold in dried cranberries.
9. Spread into prepare bundt pan and bake for about 50-55 minutes...just until well golden and toothpick comes out clean.
10. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes before inverting onto the serving plate.
11. Prepare glaze by whisking together orange juice and powdered sugar until you get your desired consistency. (Secret: if you make it up while cake is baking and you allow the glaze to set the lumps from the powdered sugar will dissolve. )
12. Pour glaze over cake once completely cooled.
Note: I like to do two rounds of glaze. I do one while the cake is warm so that it soaks into the cake and then a second when it is cool...for a double glaze. :)
