How to Make Apple Cranberry Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan.
  3. 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.
  4. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup peeled and chopped apples, 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
  7. 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.
  8. Gently fold in the apple-cranberry mixture.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. 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.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once cooled, pour the glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
  13. Dust with additional powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
