ORANGE-CRANBERRY GLAZED CAKE



Orange-Cranberry Glazed Cake image

This orange cranberry cake is a gift to the holiday baker. It can be made ahead. It travels well. And it can be brought out any time of day - with coffee or tea in the morning or afternoon, or with Cognac or plum brandy after dinner. Dried cranberries add a jaunty burst of color that is especially nice for the most festive time of year. Don't worry if all the glaze doesn't stick; that is the charm of this cake.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup/226 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature (or use 1 cup/236 milliliters coconut oil)
3 cups/360 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups/297 grams granulated sugar
4 large eggs (3 whole and 1 separated)
2 medium to large navel oranges
1 1/4 cups/160 grams dried cranberries
1/4 cup lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
3 to 3 1/2 cups/340 to 397 grams confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a Bundt pan or ring mold with a little of the butter and flour.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Using a stand mixer, beat together butter and sugar until well blended. Add the 3 whole eggs, the yolk and half the egg white. (Reserve the rest of the white for the glaze.)
  • Zest the oranges, then juice them, adding both the zest and 3/4 cup/177 milliliters juice to the batter and mix to incorporate. (Reserve remaining juice for the glaze.)
  • Add flour mixture to the mixer and beat until well combined. Stir in 1 cup/128 grams dried cranberries. Pour batter into the cake pan, shaking the pan so the batter firmly settles and there are no air bubbles. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: Mix the remaining half an egg white with lemon juice and 1/4 cup/59 milliliters orange juice. Gradually beat in 3 cups/340 grams confectioners' sugar, mixing until all the lumps have disappeared and the glaze is thick and smooth, adding more sugar if needed.
  • Let cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Insert a knife between the cake and the pan to loosen it, put a rack on top of the pan, and flip the cake onto the rack. Set the rack on top of a plate, then spoon on the glaze when the cake is still warm, scooping up any glaze that drips onto the plate and using it to reglaze the cake. Transfer to a serving plate and decorate with remaining cranberries before the glaze sets.

Yield 10-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups butter, at room temperature
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups sugar
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 oranges, zest of, grated
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups fresh cranberries, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease and flour 9 inch bundt pan.
  • In mixing bowl, using mixer on medium speed, cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Reduce speed to low and mix in eggs one at a time.

  • Stir together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cloves, and salt) in a medium bowl, mixing well.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
  • Beat on low speed until smooth.
  • DO NOT over beat.
  • Fold in cranberries.
  • Pour into the nonstick prepared Bundt cake pan (I do spray mine lightly with PAM to prevent sticking).
  • Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely before serving and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use fresh cranberries instead of dried cranberries.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • If you don't have time to make the vanilla glaze, you can simply dust the cake with powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

This orange cranberry pound cake is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. The moist and flavorful cake is packed with cranberries and oranges, and the vanilla glaze adds a touch of sweetness and sophistication.
