THE ULTIMATE SOUR CREAM CRANBERRY-STREUSEL BUNDT CAKE



The Ultimate Sour Cream Cranberry-Streusel Bundt Cake image

I can't say enough about this cake, it is moist, dense and buttery!... I have made this using mini chocolate chips and just recently made it with dried cranberries, I plan on making this for the holidays to serve to guests! I baked mine in a tube pan. Since I am making this cake again for the holidays, I plan on adding in some red food colouring in the glaze, and I will chop up frozen or fresh cranberries and add them into the cake batter, but that is only optional.

Yield Makes 1 ten-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sour cream (or 1 cup buttermilk)
Pecan-Streusel Filling
2 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl; set aside. Butter a 10-inch Bundt pan (or other tube pan with 3-quart capacity); set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Add vanilla; stir until combined. Add the reserved flour mixture and sour cream, and stir just until well combined. Spoon half the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Make a well in the batter, and crumble 2/3 of the streusel mixture into the well. Top with remaining batter, smoothing top. Sprinkle remaining streusel evenly over the top. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean, about 1 hour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk until well combined; set aside, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to use. Cool cake until just warm before drizzling with icing.

Tips:

  • Use room-temperature butter for the streusel topping. This will help the streusel come together easily and evenly.
  • If you don't have sour cream, you can use plain yogurt instead.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Don't overbake the cake. Overbaking can result in a dry, crumbly cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set.

Conclusion:

This ultimate streusel cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, crunchy streusel topping, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this ultimate streusel cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
