ORANGE-CRANBERRY GLAZED CAKE
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.

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.

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.
- Add vanilla and orange zest, scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition.
- 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.
