How to Make The Ultimate Sour Cream Cranberry Streusel Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine streusel ingredients (see below). Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. In a separate large bowl, cream together butter and sugar using an electric mixer for 5-6 minutes until light and fluffy.
  6. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. Stir in sour cream until just combined.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  9. Beat on high speed for 1 minute.
  10. Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  11. Sprinkle with half of the streusel mixture.
  12. Spoon another 1/3 of the batter over the streusel.
  13. Sprinkle with the remaining streusel mixture and top with the remaining batter.
  14. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  15. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  16. While the cake cools, whisk together confectioners' sugar and whipping cream to create a thick glaze. Add more cream as needed to reach desired consistency. Stir in red food coloring, if desired.
  17. Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake.
