CRANBERRY ORANGE CAKE

Here is something different to whip up. I’m thinking Easter would be nice. Nice flavors of cranberries and oranges.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 large eggs
• zest of one orange – about 1 tablespoon
• juice of an orange
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries

For the Icing:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 – 3 tablespoons water, milk or orange juice

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of sugar on the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cranberries on the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
2. Cream together butter and sugar until sugar turns a lemon color, about 4 – 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and mix in until incorporated.
3. Add the orange juice and zest. Add the sour cream.
4. When incorporated add the flour, salt, and baking powder. When this is all mixed together stir in the remaining 1 1/4 cups cranberries.
5. Bake for 50 – 55 minutes until a tester comes out clean. Let pan sit for 5 minutes after you take the cake out of the oven. Turn over cake unto a wire rack to cool. Mix up your glaze ingredients and spread on top and sides of cake.
