How to Make Cran Orange Mini Bundt Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray two 6-cavity mini bundt cake pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large mixing 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, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon orange zest and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. In three additions, alternately add the dry ingredients and 3/4 cup buttermilk (or substitute: 3/4 tbsp lemon juice + 3/4 cup milk, let stand 10 minutes) to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips, then gently fold in 1 cup fresh or dried cranberries.
  9. Spoon batter into prepared pans, filling them about 3/4 full.
  10. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cakes are golden brown.
  11. Let cakes cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  12. Invert pans onto wire racks to release the cakes. Let cool completely.
  13. Drizzle with glaze (recipe follows).
  14. For the glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup white chocolate morsels in the microwave on medium-high for 1 minute. Stir and microwave in 10-15 second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
  15. Whisk in 1/4 cup orange juice and 1 teaspoon grated orange zest until smooth.
