Description

Moist orange-sour-cream Bundt cake with tart cranberries and vanilla glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided (330 g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder (8 g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda (3 g)
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt (3 g)
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar (350 g)
  • 2 tbsp finely grated orange zest
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (226 g)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream (240 g)
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (120 ml)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (10 ml)
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (200 g)
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar (180 g)
  • 2-3 tbsp whole milk or orange juice (30-45 ml)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for glaze (2.5 ml)


Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Thoroughly grease and flour one 10-cup Bundt pan.
  2. Reserve 1 tablespoon flour. Whisk the remaining flour with baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Rub orange zest into sugar. Beat with butter until pale and fluffy, then add eggs one at a time.
  4. Mix sour cream, orange juice, and vanilla. Alternate this mixture with the dry ingredients.
  5. Toss cranberries with the reserved flour and fold them into the batter. Spoon into the pan and level.
  6. Bake 48-56 minutes, until a long tester carries tender crumbs. Cool in the pan 15 minutes, then invert.
  7. Whisk confectioners’ sugar, liquid, and vanilla into a slow-pouring glaze. Pour over the fully cooled cake.

Notes

Use frozen cranberries without thawing and grease every Bundt-pan ridge before filling.
