| 3 cups all-purpose flour | |
| 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder | |
| 1 teaspoon salt | |
| 1 ½ cups unsalted butter softened 3 sticks | |
| 5 large eggs room temperture | |
| 1 ¼ cup sugar (mixed with 1 orange zest) | |
| ¾ cup sour cream full-fat at room temperature | |
| 2 teaspoons vanilla | |
| ¼ cup fresh orange juice | |
| 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (*Please note, frozen cranberries should be kept frozen until ready for use.) |
Orange Glaze Ingredients:
| 1 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar | |
| 4 tablespoons simple orange syrup |
Preparation
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 10-inch Bundt pan. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
2
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and orange juice until fully combined.
Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake light and fluffy.
3
Gently fold the cranberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Transfer the batter to the greased Bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 45 minutes. Carefully transfer the cake onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely for another 30 minutes.
5
Once the cake has cooled, prepare the orange glaze by mixing confectioners’ sugar with fresh orange juice or syrup until smooth. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cake, letting it cascade down the sides.
6
Slice the cake, serve, and enjoy the delightful burst of cranberry and orange flavors in every bite!
