Time 1h50m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, cubed and at room temperature, plus more for the pan
3 cups cake flour, sifted, plus more for the pan
12 ounces fresh cranberries (can use frozen cranberries, thawed)
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
6 tablespoons whole milk
4 large eggs, plus 2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons finely grated meyer lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp meyer lemon juice
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

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.

  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.

  • Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the glaze from running off the cake.
