Spiced Cranberry Bundt Cake - Day #14 - I Like Big Bundts

Day 14 of I Like Big Bundts: 30 Days of Bundt Cakes

Spicy Cranberry Bundt from Dorie Greenspan

Thanks to my friend JustJenn of JustJennDesigns for making the logo!
I'm posting 30 Bundts in 30 days. I'm crazy. Duly noted.

I'm in a baking group called Tuesdays with Dorie. A group of 400+ bloggers are going through Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From my Home to Yours one recipe per week. Dorie has a few Bundt cakes in the book, and when it was my turn to pick a TWD recipe, of course I selected the Classic Banana Bundt Cake!

This Spiced Cranberry Bundt is a Dorie Greenspan recipe that doesn't appear in her book. This one was in Bon Appetit last year (November 2008). I hope you enjoy this autumn Bundt.

This recipe calls for Chinese Five-Spice Powder. This involved a trip to Penzeys Spices! Chinese Five-Spice has anise so this cake has a slight anise flavor. Anise isn't usually my favorite, but in this cake it was pretty mellow and there are other spices in the mix.

Greek yogurt, dried and fresh cranberries and chopped almonds make this an interesting and yummy Bundt.

An easy peasy glaze of fresh orange juice and powdered sugar tops this lovely fall Bundt.

Huge shout out to bakers Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet, Clivia of Bubie's Little Baker, and Wendy of Pink Stripes for making Bundts! Mary is my Mad Men buddy, Clivia makes this an International Project because she's Canadian, and Wendy is a twitter pal (and BlogHerFood buddy!) You three ladies rock!

Tomorrow is the half-way point of this 30 day adventure! Remember, November 15th is National Bundt Day! Come back tomorrow for another Bundt! Have a great weekend!
