Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
2 cups fresh cranberries
Zest of one medium orange (about 2 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a bundt pan by greasing and flouring it.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture.
4. Fold in the fresh cranberries and orange zest gently until just combined.
5. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Allow cooling in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
Notes
For added flavor, consider drizzling an orange glaze made from powdered sugar mixed with orange juice over the cooled cake. If fresh cranberries are unavailable, frozen cranberries can be used directly without thawing.
