I have searched and searched for a decent cranberry cake recipe but to no avail. So I decided to take a blueberry Bundt cake recipe and substitute cranberries instead. This cake really lets the cranberries be the star of the show. Cranberry lovers will definitely enjoy this one. I found it best to make the cake the day before you serve it. Your taste buds will definitely be rewarded for your patience!

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1-2/3 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
2 tsp. finely grated lemon peel
2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 to 3-1/2 cups fresh cranberries
icing sugar for dusting

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 10 inch/12 cup Bundt pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.

Using an electric mixer, beat 1-2/3 cup sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in lemon peel and juice.

Beat in dry ingredients in 3 additions alternately with buttermilk in 2 additions. Fold in cranberries. Spoon batter evenly into prepared pan.

Bake for approximately 10 hour and 10 minutes until cake tests done.

Cool cake on wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn cake out onto rack to cool completely. Brush off any excess flour with pastry brush.

Transfer to serving plate; wrap with foil or plastic wrap and store at room temperature overnight. Dust with icing sugar just before serving.
