How to Make Cranberry Almond Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position rack in the center of the oven.
  2. Grease and flour a 10-12 cup bundt or kugelhopf pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the softened butter and almond paste on medium speed until smooth and creamy – about 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy – about 2 minutes.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
  6. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  7. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  8. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  9. Beat for about 20-30 seconds until the batter is completely smooth.
  10. Gently fold in the dried cranberries using a rubber spatula.
  11. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  12. Run a knife through the batter to eliminate any large air pockets.
  13. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  14. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
  15. Invert the cake onto the wire rack to release it from the pan. Let it cool completely.
  16. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional). Serve at room temperature.
