Old Fashioned Cranberry Bundt Cake

This delicious bundt cake is flavored perfectly for the holidays with cranberries and oranges. It is made using raw milk, einkorn flour and only.a little sugar. White cane sugar is something I try very hard to keep out of my home. It can be very difficult around the holidays when everyone is baking these tasty Instagram worthy treats. So for this recipe I tried to keep it low sugar, there is only half a cup of coconut sugar and half a cup of raw turbinado sugar. The cake is still wonderfully sweet and moist, and you can feel better about feeding it to your loved ones this Christmas.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all purpose einkorn flour

• 3 eggs, room temperature

• 16 tbsp butter (2 sticks), softened

• 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 cup coconut sugar

• 1/2 cup raw turbinado sugar

• 2/3 cup raw milk

• 1 and 1/2 cup fresh cranberries

• 1/3 cup orange juice (or juice of one orange)

• zest from one orange

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (Optional glaze)

• 1 tbsp orange juice (Optional glaze)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

2. Butter a standard size bundt pan.

3. Sprinkle 2 tsp of sugar into the buttered bundt pan, then add 1/4 cup of the cranberries to the bottom of the pan. Set aside.

4. Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Set aside.

5. Using a standing mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until creamy.

6. Add the eggs one at a time to the mixer, mix to combine.

7. Add the orange juice and zest to the mixer, mix to combine.

8. Add the raw milk slowly, mixing to combine. The batter will be clumpy.

9. Transfer the butter mixture to the flour bowl. Stir with a stiff spatula until all the flour is absorbed.

10. Fold in the remaining cranberries gently.

11. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

12. Let the cake stand in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

13. As an option, feel free to glaze the cake in a powdered sugar and orange glaze. I used only half the glaze on my cake in the photo. But it looks even better with the full thick sugary glaze!

14. Mix the powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl. Pour over the cooled cake from the outside, in. Serve!
