Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and salt with an electric hand mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla and beat to combine.
- Add half the flour and beat to combine, then beat in the milk, then add the rest of the flour and beat just until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and make sure any floury spots are incorporated.
- Grease a 10-inch (25-cm) bundt pan with nonstick spray. Spoon the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Gently tap the pan against the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Bake the cake for 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, make the lemon glaze: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar and lemon juice. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside.
- Make the lemon icing: Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice and whisk until smooth.
- After the cake is done baking, let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet and remove the bundt pan. Use a knife to loosen the cake around the edges, if needed.
- Use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the top and sides of the cake. Brush the cake with the lemon glaze. If the glaze drips off, let the cake cool for a few more minutes, then continue brushing on the glaze. Let cool completely, at least 1 hour.
- Pour the icing over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Grate lemon zest over the icing. Let the glaze dry completely, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer the cake to a serving platter, slice, and serve.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Prepare the cake: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°. Butter and flour a 10-cup flute Bundt pan.
- Cook the cranberries with 3/4 cup granulated sugar in a pot over medium-high heat until juicy and the mixture reduces to 1 1/4 cups, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
- Whisk the milk, whole eggs and yolks, and vanilla in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Whisk the 3 cups flour, the remaining 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, the lemon zest, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the 3 1/4 sticks butter and beat with a mixer on low speed until moistened. Add half of the milk mixture, increase the speed to medium and beat 1 minute. Add the remaining milk mixture in two batches, beating between each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat again, about 30 seconds.
- Transfer 2/3 of the batter to the pan. Spoon the cranberry mixture in a ring around the middle of the batter (do not let it touch the pan). Top with the remaining cake batter and smooth evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the syrup: Dissolve the 1/4 cup granulate sugar in 1/2 cup lemon juice in a saucepan over low heat. Remove the cake from the oven, poke the serface all over with a skewer and pour the syrup on top. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a parchment-lined rack to cool completely. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and let sit overnight.
- When ready to serve, whisk the confectioners' sugar and the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice unil smooth. Spoon over the cake.
CRANBERRY BUNDT CAKE WITH LEMON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/175ºc fan.
- Grease the bundt cake tin (or 2 x 8 inch round cake tin) with melted butter and dust with flour - this will help you see if you haven't greased any spots.
- In a stand mixer cream the butter at room temperature and sugars until pale and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time and mix together.
- Measure and mix in the yoghurt.
- Add in the zest and juice from half of one lemon.
- In a separate bowl, measure and sieve out the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt.
- Sieve in the flour gradually and stop when the flour is evenly mixed in.
- Pour the mix into the prepared tin. Stud with the cranberries and push down slightly so they are covered. This stops the cranberries falling to the bottom of the cake and getting stuck on the tin.
- Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean and the cake starts to pull away from the sides of the tin. Turn it around after 35 minutes to make sure it's evenly cooked.
- Leave the cake to cool fully before removing from the tin.
- Mix the icing sugar with a few drops of water to make an icing and drizzle it over the cake.
- To make the sugar coated cranberries, take the cranberries and wash them. Place caster sugar in a bowl and place the damp cranberries in. Shake the bowl so the cranberries roll around to get a good coating of sugar on them. Take them out and add to the cake.
- Using the other half of the used lemon cut small slices and add them to the cake with the cranberries.

Tips:
- For a moist and flavorful cake, use fresh lemon zest and juice. Bottled or store-bought lemon juice can be used, but fresh lemon juice will give the cake a brighter, more pronounced lemon flavor.
- Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for a tender cake. This process incorporates air into the batter, which helps the cake rise. Don't skip this step!
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For a moist cake, don't overbake it. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
- If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 10-inch tube pan or two 9-inch round cake pans. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
Conclusion:
This lemon bundt cake with cranberry filling is a delicious and festive cake that is perfect for any occasion. The moist and flavorful cake is complemented perfectly by the tart cranberries, and the lemon glaze adds a touch of sweetness and brightness. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
