Orange Spice Cream Cheese Bundt Cake Wtih Sugared Cranberries Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Using a pastry brush, thoroughly brush the insides and center tube of a 4.5-cup fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with the melted shortening. Sift 2 tablespoons cake flour over the greased pan, making sure that all surfaces are well coated. Shake out any excess flour over the sink. Set the pan aside.
• Using a sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler, remove the orange part of the orange peel, leaving behind the white bitter pitch. Place the strips of orange zest in the bowl of a food processor. Add cranberries and process until finely chopped. Set aside.
• Cream sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and almond extract. Add 1 1/4 cups cake flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. Beat in buttermilk and chopped cranberries and orange zest. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 37 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes and invert onto a serving platter.
• While cake is cooling, combine cranberries, 3 tablespoons sugar, and water in a small glass bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute to dissolve sugar and soften cranberries. Stir until all of the cranberries are coated with the sugary mixture. Remove the cranberries with a slotted spoon onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Allow to dry for 30 minutes. Roll the cranberries in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
• Combine powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest in a small bowl. Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake and garnish with the sugared cranberries.

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 the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt for the cake in a large bowl. Add mayonnaise and cranberry sauce; mix until well combined. Add orange juice and mix well. Stir in nuts and orange zest and pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Tap the pan a few times to loosen the cake and invert carefully onto a serving plate.
• While the cake is cooling, combine cranberry sauce and orange juice for the glaze in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• Transfer cooled cranberry-orange mixture to a large mixing bowl. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until glaze has a thin and pourable consistency; pour over cake.

Steps:

• To Make the Pound Cake
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and generously mist a 10-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray.
• Place the butter and Philadelphia Cream Cheese in a large mixing bowl, mixing together until smooth and well-blended. Add the sugar and whip on medium-high speed until very pale and fluffy (about 5 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl with a silicone spatula after each addition. Stir in the orange juice, zest, and vanilla. Add the flour, 1 ½ cups at a time. When all the flour has been incorporated, stir in the salt, ginger, and cloves.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared Bundt. Bake for 70 to 80 minutes*, or until a bamboo skewer inserted in the thickest part of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
• Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar, and fill the center of the Bundt with sugared cranberries, for garnish.
• To Make the Sugared Cranberries:
• Place the water and sugar in a medium pot, and place over medium-low heat. Bring to a low simmer, stirring, just until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and cool for 15 minutes.
• Toss the cranberries in the simple syrup, to coat.
• Drain the cranberries, and spread in single layer on a wire rack. Allow to dry for about 8 hours, or until no longer wet but sticky to the touch. Roll in granulated sugar, to coat. Sugared cranberries can be stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to a week.
