How to cook Orange Cranberry Bundt Cake With Glaze
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a Bundt pan with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- Add softened butter to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat until smooth.
- Add sugars and beat until combined and well blended.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until incorporated.
- Add half of the flour mixture and half of the milk. Mix together.
- Add remaining flour and milk. Mix until just combined.
- Mix in the orange juice and zest.
- Stir in the cranberries.
- Pour batter into Bundt pan. Tap pan on counter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove cake from oven and put a wire rack on top of the pan. Gently flip the cake onto the rack. Remove Bundt pan from cake and let cool on rack for 15 minutes before decorating.
- While the cake is baking make the glaze. In a medium bowl add the powdered sugar and orange juice. Whisk together until the lumps have disappeared.
- Add milk to thin if necessary. Glaze should be thick and smooth.
- Set the wire rack with the cake over parchment or wax paper to catch glaze drippings.
- Spoon on the glaze letting the glaze run down the top. Evenly spread.
- Let sit for a couple minutes before decorating with cranberries and zest. Let glaze harden for 20 minutes before serving and storing.
NOTES:
You can also use fresh cranberries with this recipe. If using make sure to toss cranberries in flour before adding to batter. That way the cranberries will not all fall to the bottom of the pan during cooking.
