Cranberry-Orange Bundt Cake

"I modified an existing recipe for my brother-in-law, who is allergic to eggs, and it quickly became a family favorite. This cake turns out moist with a hint of orange flavor and a burst of tart cranberry. This is one of my brother-in-law's favorites. How do I know, you ask? Well, I'd say his taking second helpings and stashing the remainder of the cake to take home are very good indicators. :)"

directions

  • Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare a 10-cup bundt pan by spraying with cooking oil and lightly dusting with flour.
  • Cream sugar and butter. Wisk together cornstarch and water and cream into sugar/butter mixture. Stir in milk, orange juice and orange zest.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl and slowly add into wet mixture, stirring until thoroughly combined.
  • Fold cranberries into the batter.
  • Spoon batter evenly into bundt pan, being careful not to brush off too much of the flour dusting.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into cake comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes and turn out onto a cake pedistal or plate.
  • Glaze:

  • Place powdered sugar in a small bowl.
  • Stir in orange juice one tablespoon at a time until preferred glaze texture is obtained.
  • Spoon evenly over warm cake.
  • Garnish:

  • I sprinkled slivered almonds evenly over the freshly-glazed cake.
  • I also placed cranberries into the center of the cake and around the base of the cake plate mostly for festive presentation, but found that my family enjoys eating the uncooked cranberries dipped in extra glaze or with bites of cake.

  1. This cake is awesome! Living in Denver, it is hard to find any cake that works, let alone a cake without eggs! I adjusted this cake for high altitude (-1Tbs sugar, 2Tbs flour, -1/2tsp baking powder and 1/2tsp baking soda, 2Tbs liquid, baked at 365'F for 40min) and it came out perfect. You would not even know that it didn't have any eggs. I will definitely be making this cake again!
     
  2. I have a daughter who is allergic to eggs, so I am always looking for good egg free recipes and this one is fantastic. You would never know there is no eggs in it. Thanks I will be making this one again.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am&nbsp;33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years.&nbsp; We have a beautiful 5-year-old&nbsp;daughter and a 3-year-old&nbsp;son.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am amazed at how quickly our kids are&nbsp;growing and developing.&nbsp; I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as&nbsp;preservatives,&nbsp;hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc.&nbsp; With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century&nbsp;of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed.&nbsp; I'm doing the best I can to protect my family&nbsp;from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive.&nbsp; I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of&nbsp;cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p> 8727502"
