EASY CRANBERRY ORANGE CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a bundt pan.
• Mix together the orange zest and juice, orange liqueur and eggs in a large bowl and set aside. In a smaller bowl, toss the cranberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour and set aside.
• In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and remaining 2 1/2 cups flour and mix to combine. On low speed, slowly add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time and continue to mix until a pea-sized crumble texture is achieved. Turn the speed to medium and slowly stream in the egg/orange mixture until combined. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gently fold in the cranberry mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top.
• Bake until a cake tester inserted in the cake comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 20 to 30 minutes, then remove the cake and serve.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Keep aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, butter, sugar and mix until combined. 
• Add buttermilk, vanilla extract, orange extract, orange zest and mix until smooth.  
• Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix!
• Pour batter into two round greased/floured cake pans (Dimensions: 8x2).
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean. 
• Allow the cakes to cool down completely. Then, cut the dome on top of the cake and the stiff sides. 
• Place one cake on a cake stand. Spread a thin layer of marmalade. Then, spread a thick layer of cream cheese frosting. Add some mandarin orange slices if you like. 
• Place the other cake on top of the frosting. Spread another thin layer of marmalade and another thick layer of cream cheese frosting. Top it off more mandarin orange slices. Enjoy!
