Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons cranberry juice
  • 3/4 cup grapeseed oil
  • 1 cup frozen cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 1 1/2 cups icing sugar (sifted)
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F; 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.
