CRANBERRY CREME FRAICHE BUNDT CAKE



Cranberry Creme Fraiche Bundt Cake image

I came across this recipe by Christie Matheson- check out her site at thekitchen.com This cake was inspired by her mom's cranberry-sour cream coffee cake. She like to use creme fraiche instead of sour cream in baking because it gives a richness to the final product. She also says you can use canned cranberry sauce for this...

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, oil or butter, for greasing the pan
2 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring the pan
2 1/2 tablespoons orange zest plus 3/4 cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 oranges)
2 teaspoons orange liqueur
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/4 sticks (18 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  • Mix together the orange zest and juice, orange liqueur and eggs in a large bowl and set aside. In a smaller bowl, toss the cranberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour and set aside.
