Equipment
- Bundt Cake
Ingredients
Cake
- 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
- 4 oz dried cranberries
- 2 1/3 cups granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 tbsp almonds finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour plus more for pan
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 1 1/3 cups vegetable oil plus more for pan
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tbsp orange zest
Glaze
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 oz dried cranberries
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Prepare a 3 quarts bundt cake pan using vegetable oil and a brush to cover generously all its surface. Then, cover it with flour and tap the pan upside down to release the excess.
- Hydrate the roughly chopped dried cranberries with the orange juice and reserve.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer add the granulated sugar, finely chopped almonds, baking powder, salt and AP flour. Mix the dry ingredients.
- Add the wet ingredients: whole milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract and orange zest. Mix for 1 minute at low speed. Add the cranberries with the orange juice and mix at medium high speed for 2 minutes.
- Add the cake mix to the bundt cake pan and bake for 80-90 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean, the cake is golden brown and the sponge springs back when you press delicately your finger into it.
- Pass a plastic or silicone offset spatula around the edges of the pan. Allow to cool in the pan for five minutes, then turn the pan upside down into a plate to unmold. Allow the cake to cool down completely.
- To make the glaze blend the orange juice and dried cranberries, and sieve through a fine mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Add the powdered sugar and mix.
- Glaze the bundt cake and garnish with orange peel.
