Cranberry Orange Cake
1 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 Tbsp. orange juice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cranberries in a bowl and add 1/4 cup orange juice. Set aside. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and sugar. Add eggs, oil and buttermilk. Blend on high for about 2 minutes. Fold in cranberries with juice. Pour into bundt or tube pan sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Invert onto a plate. Mix confectioners' sugar and 2 Tbsp. orange juice. Drizzle over hot cake.
Comments: This recipe actually came from the Pam Cooking Spray site. The only changes I made was to the eggs. They were separated with the yolks being added and the whites beaten until stiff and then folded in after the cranberries. I added my eggs without separating them nor whipping up the whites. It worked out perfectly. The only other change was to the drizzle. The original recipe called for 2 Tbsp. buttermilk which I just couldn't bring myself to use. I love the taste of buttermilk as long as it's cooked in but not by itself. This is where I used the 2 Tbsp. of orange juice instead. No matter what - this is a really good cake.
