I come up with new recipes on a regular basis. Sometimes because of certain circumstances I try to duplicate them. That is exactly what happened with this Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake… Years ago when David and I just started dating, we went to Costco. If you shop there, you know about the ladies standing at their stations with food samples to taste. It’s a great way to advertise – if you like it, you’ll probably buy it… simple as that! As we were walking by, there was a very busy lady promoting a cake. I said to David that we should give it a try, but he wasn’t interested. Of course, I didn’t follow him, I turned around and went for a taste sample. OMG! The cake was amazing! Sure enough, I added that dessert to our cart and later that night after dinner, we each had a slice… yum! A couple of weeks later, I went back to purchase another one as we were having friends over for dinner. Alas, there were none to be found. Weeks go by and again, I was looking for that specific cake in Costco, even asking the staff about it. We were all waiting for this incredible dessert to come back again but it never did… By force of circumstance, I had no choice but to try and reproduce this cake that got me so hooked. Luckily on my first attempt I nailed this Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake and it has become one of our favorite desserts when I have a large group of people over. This cake is absolutely delicious and incredibly moist! I use frozen cranberries and that’s what gives this dessert it’s lovely texture. With a tasty balance of tart, citrus and sweetness, this Cranberry Orange Bundt cake is exactly what you need to serve during the Holidays or on special occasions. I use a Bundt pan because David’s mom and grandma made their cakes in them and they also add an elegant flair to the cake. The only downside about these beautiful molds is they have to be extremely well greased and floured otherwise the batter will stick and the final results might not look so “pretty”. I spray mine with butter flavored cooking spray and I’m not shy with it at all, making sure I get into all the nooks and crannies. Same as with the cooking spray, I use a lot of flour. You have to make sure every surface is well covered. That’s how I do it and when it comes time to remove my Bundt cake from the mold, it looks perfect! With the Holidays just around the corner, this Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake is definitely a scrumptious choice! Don’t be surprised when your guests ask for seconds… Bon Appétit!
