Ingredients:

300 gr flour (2 1/2 cups sifted flour)

250 gr powdered sugar (2 1/4 cups)

4 extra large eggs

180 gr Greek yogurt, vanilla or plain (6oz)

120 gr vegetable oil (1/2 cup)

2 tsp baking powder

Pinch of salt

1 tsp Orange extract

Zest from 1 orange

8 Oz fresh cranberries, washed and completely dried

For glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

Orange juice, as needed

An additional  12 fresh cranberries (for decoration, see tips)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F.

Prepare your favorite Bundt cake pan by generously greasing and flouring the interior.  You can also use baking spray if you wish.

Combine sifted flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.

Beat eggs, powder sugar, oil and yogurt together until well-blended.

Add orange extract and zest while continuing to mix.

Next, add the flour mixture, a little at a time while beating on low speed.

Batter should be pale and foamy.

Add the cranberries and stir them into the batter gently with a spatula.

Carefully pour batter into the prepared pan, making sure that it’s evenly spread.

Bake in hot oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until top is golden and cake tester stick comes out clean.

Remove cake from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Turn cake upside down onto a serving plate and allow it to completely cool.

Meanwhile, wash extra 12 cranberries, and while they are still wet, roll them in sugar.

Set aside.

When cake has cooled, mix the powdered sugar and enough orange juice to make a smooth  glaze.

Drizzle over top of cake.

Carefully decorate the top of cake with the sugared cranberries.

Slice and serve.

TIPS:

There’s a more professional way to sugar coat cranberries (or any berry) but it’s complicated. I found that this shortcut works just as well for the intended purpose.

Use either extra large or jumbo eggs for this recipe. I find that egg sizes at supermarket are shrinking so I don’t use large eggs anymore because, to me, they look more like medium size.

Use an organic orange for the zest in this recipe. If you can’t find one, brush your orange very well with baking powder. Rinse and dry well before zesting.
