Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1.25 teaspoons salt
  • 1.25 cups unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed, light or dark
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange zest
  • 5 large eggs at room temperature
  • 0.5 cup full-fat sour cream at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup milk at room temperature
  • 0.25 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1.75 cups fresh or frozen cranberries do not thaw if frozen

Filling

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Orange Glaze

  • 1.5 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoons fresh orange juice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and orange zest together until creamed, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla and beat on medium speed until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, add the milk and fresh orange juice, and beat on medium speed until combined. Stir in cranberries.
  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
  • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle the swirl ingredients evenly on top. Cover evenly with remaining cake batter.
  • Bake for 55–70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean with just a couple moist crumbs.
  • Once done, cool in the pan for 1 hour, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Whisk confectioners’ sugar and orange juice together to make icing. Drizzle over cake before serving.
  • Store leftover cake tightly covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Notes

This cake can be served with additional orange glaze on top for extra sweetness.
