Cape Cod Glazed, Cranberry Orange Cake 8 tbl spoons unsalted butter 1 C granulated sugar 2 lg eggs 2 tsp orange zest 1.5 C all purpose flour 1.5 tsp baking powder .5 tsp salt 1/3 cup orange juice 2 C frozen or fresh cranberries
Ingredients for glaze 8 tbl spoons unsalted butter 3 tbl spoons orange juice 1/3 C sugar
Heat oven to 350 degrees
Cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Combine eggs and orange zest with sugar and butter mixture until light. Mix dry ingredients together, set aside. Stir juice and cranberries into butter/egg mixture then fold in dry ingredients just until mixed. Bake in a well greased and floured 9 in tube pan at 350 until cake springs back when lightly touched - don't over bake (about 40-45 minutes in my oven).
Melt together the glaze ingredients. When cake comes out and is still hot, pour glaze over it. Let cake cool 1 hour before removing from pan.
Notes: to keep from over cooking, keep a close eye on the cake. remember it will continue to cook in the pan once removed. A toothpick should come out clean, but not much more than that else the cake will be dry with a beautiful glaze
Merry Christmas!
