Orange Cranberry Glazed Cake Recipes

CRANBERRY CAKE WITH ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• Toss the cranberries in a little flour and set aside.
• Place the sugar and eggs in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until light and fluffy.
• Sift the flour with the baking powder then add to the mixture in the bowl a little at a time along with the softened butter. Continue to mix until completely blended, then stir in the yogurt.
• Add the cranberries and vanilla and stir until evenly combined, then put the batter into the prepared tin.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes (depending on your oven), but test with a cake tester or skewer to make sure the cranberry cake is done before removing from the oven. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes, then remove the side of the springform pan.
• While the cake is cooling (before taking it out of the pan) put the sugar and orange juice for the glaze into a small pot. Bring to a boil then simmer for about 6 or 7 minutes or until starts to become a sticky glaze.
• (Decorative Cranberries - if you want to decorate the top with a few glazed and sugared cranberries, it's easy! Before putting the glaze on the cake, drop a few berries into the pot to cover with glaze, and remove immediately. Place the cranberries on a silicone sheet or flat plate to set. If you want sugared cranberries, simply roll them in sugar after dipping in the glaze.)
• Pour and brush the glaze over the top of the cake while it is still warm. I place a plate under the cooling rack to catch any drips
• When cool, place on a cake stand or serving plate and decorate as desired. I used glazed and sugared cranberries with 3 orange leaves.

ORANGE-CRANBERRY GLAZED CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a Bundt pan or ring mold with a little of the butter and flour.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Using a stand mixer, beat together butter and sugar until well blended. Add the 3 whole eggs, the yolk and half the egg white. (Reserve the rest of the white for the glaze.)
• Zest the oranges, then juice them, adding both the zest and 3/4 cup/177 milliliters juice to the batter and mix to incorporate. (Reserve remaining juice for the glaze.)
• Add flour mixture to the mixer and beat until well combined. Stir in 1 cup/128 grams dried cranberries. Pour batter into the cake pan, shaking the pan so the batter firmly settles and there are no air bubbles. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: Mix the remaining half an egg white with lemon juice and 1/4 cup/59 milliliters orange juice. Gradually beat in 3 cups/340 grams confectioners' sugar, mixing until all the lumps have disappeared and the glaze is thick and smooth, adding more sugar if needed.
• Let cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Insert a knife between the cake and the pan to loosen it, put a rack on top of the pan, and flip the cake onto the rack. Set the rack on top of a plate, then spoon on the glaze when the cake is still warm, scooping up any glaze that drips onto the plate and using it to reglaze the cake. Transfer to a serving plate and decorate with remaining cranberries before the glaze sets.

UPSIDE-DOWN CRANBERRY-ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter just the sides of a 9-inch round cake pan.
• For the caramel topping: Stir the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Stop stirring, and gently swirl the saucepan occasionally until the mixture is the color of light amber, 6 to 8 minutes. If needed, brush any sugar crystals off the side of the saucepan with a wet pastry brush. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and carefully whisk in the butter (take care: the mixture can bubble up considerably). Pour the caramel into the prepared cake pan, tilting the pan to cover most of the bottom (be careful: the pan will be very hot from the caramel). Scatter the cranberries over the caramel.
• For the cake: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and cloves in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition and scraping down the side of the bowl as needed, then beat in the vanilla and orange zest. Whisk together the milk and sour cream in a small bowl. Reduce the mixer speed to low, and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk-sour cream mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
• Pour the batter over the cranberries in the cake pan, and spread evenly. Bake until the cake is golden brown and bounces back when pressed and a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted in the center, 50 to 60 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cake to separate it from the pan. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack until just cool enough to handle, 20 to 30 minutes. Invert a serving platter over the cake pan and, while holding them together, quickly flip them over so the cake unmolds, cranberry-side up. Let cool completely. Cut into wedges, and serve.
