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.
