Ingredients for Almond Cranberry Bundt

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Unsalted Butter
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup solo almond pastry filling
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • Splenda Granular
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Skim Milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

How to Make Almond Cranberry Bundt

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-12 cup bundt pan with butter or baking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 cup solo almond pastry filling using a mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy (2-4 minutes).
  4. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ½ cup Splenda, beating until light and fluffy.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 large egg whites, and 1 large egg, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  6. Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients (from step 2) and 1 cup milk alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  9. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Start checking at 40 minutes)
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
