Equipment

Ingredients
  

FOR THE CAKE

  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs room temperature
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup buttermilk room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream room temperature
  • 1½ cups cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for coating cranberries)

FOR THE GLAZE

  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup orange juice

Instructions
 

FOR THE CAKE

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Thoroughly grease a 10-inch nonstick bundt pan with shortening or butter followed by a light coat of flour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until smooth (3-4 min.). Add granulated sugar and beat for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
  • Beat eggs into the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add orange juice, zest, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix until fully combined.
  • Add the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, begining and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until ingredients are fully combined.
  • In a small bowl, toss the cranberries in flour until evenly coated. Then, gently fold them into the batter with a rubber spatula.
  • Pour the batter into the greased bundt pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 15-20 minutes in the pan. Then, carefully transfer the cake from the pan to a cooling rack to cool completely.

FOR THE GLAZE

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth.
  • When the cake is completely cool, pour the glaze on top, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a nonstick bundt pan
  • Thoroughly grease and flour the pan to prevent sticking
  • Use room temperature ingredients for best results
  • Coat the cranberries in flour to help prevent sinking
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter
