How to Make Cranberry Orange Pound Cake With Butter Rum Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Generously grease and lightly flour a 12-cup fluted tube pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 2 ¾ cups (525g) granulated sugar and 1 ½ cups (3 sticks, 340g) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the zest of 1 large orange.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup (240ml) sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat well after each addition.
- Gently fold in 1 ½ cups (190g) fresh or frozen cranberries.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the sauce:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour.
- Gradually whisk in ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream and ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle simmer.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons dark rum (optional).
- Serve warm rum sauce over slices of the cooled cake.
