Spiced Cranberry Bundt
I Like Big Bundts - Day #13
Happy Saturday! It's Day #13 of I Like Big Bundts...my crazy marathon of 30 Bundts in 30 days! I hope you celebrate National Bundt Day on November 15th!
Today's Bundt is really special! It's Dorie Greenspan's Spiced Cranberry Bundt. I made it with Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet when I visited her earlier this month in Connecticut (see my BlogMary post here). It's fitting that we made a Dorie Greenspan recipe because Dorie, without knowing it, brought Mary and I together!
In 2008, Mary and I were both in the online group Tuesdays with Dorie...baking our way through Dorie Greenspan's Baking from My Home to Yours cookbook. Mary wrote me an email starting with "I'm in Tuesdays with Dorie too..." asking for Los Angeles restaurant recommendations...and a friendship was born. Thanks Dorie for not only your delicious recipes and wonderful cookbooks, but for helping two people named Mary meet!
We made our cake by pulverizing some slivered almonds for the almond flour, and toasted some almonds for the batter. East Coast Mary had a bag of cranberries in the freezer (something I must do this year) so we had frozen cranberries and dried cranberries. This bundt has a delicious combo of spices: Chinese five-spice powder, ground ginger and ground cinnamon.

Aw shucks.....This is the best of the best.......Hooray for Bundt cakes and girls named Mary.....XOXO, M
Glad to see this cake included! I have made this one before and it is yummy! Definitely grown-up flavors, though. Kids were not impressed.
I don't even remember that cake in Dorie's book. I must go back and make it. And for the "Mary" record, I go by my middle name--Katrina, but my first name is Mary! We all rock. ;)
Lovely colorful cake
It seems to me that everything you bake turns out beautiful
love this one!!!
Oooh, this one is so beautiful! The all-spice must add a great oompf!
