CRANBERRY-FILLED ORANGE POUND CAKE
I made this for a holiday dinner with my family. Everyone loved the cran-orange flavor and the sweet glaze drizzled on top. For a fun variation, add 2/3 cup flaked sweetened coconut when including the orange juice to the batter, and sprinkle the finished cake with toasted coconut. -Patricia Harmon, Baden, Pennsylvania

Steps:
- In a medium straight-sided saute pan, add sugar and wine. Bring to a simmer and cook until it creates a lazy bubble, 235 to 240 degrees F. Add cranberries and stir, bringing temperature to low. Continue to cook cranberries, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes. Add allspice, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaf, entire orange, orange juice, zest and salt. Cook until cranberries begin to burst and thicken, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes to cool slightly. Remove aromatics, orange and zest from cranberries and either puree in a high-speed blender for smooth cranberry compote, or leave as is for textured compote. Cool and reserve.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh oranges and cranberries.
- Zest the Oranges Before Juicing Them: This will help you get the most flavor out of the oranges.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is done baking.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting It: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- Make the Cranberry Compote Ahead of Time: This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
