Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, oil or butter, for greasing the pan
2 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring the pan
2 1/2 tablespoons orange zest plus 3/4 cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 oranges)
2 teaspoons orange liqueur
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/4 sticks (18 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  • Mix together the orange zest and juice, orange liqueur and eggs in a large bowl and set aside. In a smaller bowl, toss the cranberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and remaining 2 1/2 cups flour and mix to combine. On low speed, slowly add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time and continue to mix until a pea-sized crumble texture is achieved. Turn the speed to medium and slowly stream in the egg/orange mixture until combined. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gently fold in the cranberry mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top.
  • Bake until a cake tester inserted in the cake comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 20 to 30 minutes, then remove the cake and serve.

Time 3h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup almond milk, or other non-dairy milk
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
½ cup fresh orange juice
⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 ¼ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups fresh or frozen cranberries, halved or coarsely chopped
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 12-cup fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Vigorously whisk together milk, zest, juice, oil, applesauce, flax seeds, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Add sugar and whisk until well combined, then whisk in vanilla.
  • Use a fine mesh strainer to sift in about half of flour and all of baking powder, salt, and baking soda, then stir until well combined. Sift in remaining flour and stir until smooth. Fold in cranberries. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake until top is puffed and firm to touch, cake starts to pull away from pan sides, and a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then loosen cake with a small metal spatula, invert on a cooling rack, and cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • Put confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Add juice, oil, and vanilla and stir vigorously, until thick and smooth but pourable. (Thin with water or a little more juice if needed.)
  • Put a sheet of wax paper under rack with cake. Drizzle glaze over cake, letting excess drip off. Let stand until set, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

- To achieve the perfect moist texture, make sure not to overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can result in a dry and dense cake. - Use fresh oranges and cranberries for the best flavor. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using. - For a more intense orange flavor, zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest contains a lot of the orange's flavor, so it will really enhance the cake. - If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a regular 9x13 inch baking pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.

Conclusion:

This orange cranberry bundt cake is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, tangy orange flavor, and sweet cranberries, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
