How to Make Apple Cranberry Bundt Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup peeled and chopped apples, 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the apple-cranberry mixture.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-4 tablespoons milk or lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk or lemon juice to reach desired consistency.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, pour the glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
- Dust with additional powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
