Cran Orange Mini Bundt Cakes Recipes

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.
• In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and remaining 2 1/2 cups flour and mix to combine. On low speed, slowly add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time and continue to mix until a pea-sized crumble texture is achieved. Turn the speed to medium and slowly stream in the egg/orange mixture until combined. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gently fold in the cranberry mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top.
• Bake until a cake tester inserted in the cake comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 20 to 30 minutes, then remove the cake and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Spray one large bundt pan with baking spray and set aside.
• Make filling: Combine cranberries, sugar, water, almond extract, and orange juice in a small saucepan. (Set aside 12 cranberries so that they remain whole.) Bring to a medium boil and cook, stirring constantly, until the cranberries begin to pop. When mixture thickens, remove from heat. Cool mixture to room temperature.
• Make cake: Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• Beat the butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl.
• Add sugar and beat until smooth.
• Add eggs and almond extract; beat until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
• Add dry ingredients and beat until smooth.
• Add sour cream and orange zest. Mix well.
• Pour half of the batter into the bundt pan. Spoon 2/3 of the filling into the batter, taking care not to let the filling touch the sides of pan. Spoon the remaining batter on top.
• Bake 55-60 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test.
• Cool cake in pan exactly ten minutes, then remove by inverting it on to a serving plate.
• Prepare glaze: combine orange and lemon juice, and sugar, in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
• While the cake is still warm, gently brush on the glaze. When the cake is cool, spoon the remaining filling over the top of the cake and stud with the remaining whole cranberries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF; grease and flour a Bundt pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine together sugar, orange juice, eggs, buttermilk, cranberry juice, and grapeseed oil; process until blended. Add dry ingredients and mix just until incorporated. Fold in cranberries and orange zest. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
• Bake for 53 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a cake tester inserted comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan set over a wire rack for 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and place on a serving plate; ice it.
• ICING: In a medium mixing bowl, combine icing sugar, butter, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth. Ice cake when cool and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
• If icing is too thick, add more liquid or too thin, add more icing sugar.

• Spoon into prepared pans, filling 3/4 full.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in cake comes out clean and cakes are golden.
• Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes.
• Invert pans onto wire racks to release cakes and then cool completely. Drizzle with Glaze.
• FOR GLAZE: Microwave white morsels in large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; stir. (The morsels may retain some of their original shape.).
• Microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted.
• Whisk in 1/4 cup orange juice and 1 teaspoon grated orange peel. (Mixture will initially get firm, but as you keep stirring, it will get smooth. Add more orange juice if needed.).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with butter and dust with flour.
• To prepare the filling, combine cranberries, sugar, water, almond extract and orange juice in a small saucepan.

• Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
• To prepare the glaze, place orange juice, lemon juice, zests and sugar in a small saucepan. Simmer on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat until the cake is finished baking.
• While the cake is still warm, gently brush on the glaze. When the cake is cool, spoon the remaining filling over the cake and stud with the reserved whole cranberries. Serves 10 to 12.
