Orange-Cranberry Glazed Cake

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a Bundt pan or ring mold with a little of the butter and flour.

2. Step 2

   Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

3. Step 3

   Using a stand mixer, beat together butter and sugar until well blended. Add the 3 whole eggs, the yolk and half the egg white. (Reserve the rest of the white for the glaze.)

4. Step 4

   Zest the oranges, then juice them, adding both the zest and ¾ cup/177 milliliters juice to the batter and mix to incorporate. (Reserve remaining juice for the glaze.)

5. Step 5

   Add flour mixture to the mixer and beat until well combined. Stir in 1 cup/128 grams dried cranberries. Pour batter into the cake pan, shaking the pan so the batter firmly settles and there are no air bubbles. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

6. Step 6

   While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: Mix the remaining half an egg white with lemon juice and ¼ cup/59 milliliters orange juice. Gradually beat in 3 cups/340 grams confectioners’ sugar, mixing until all the lumps have disappeared and the glaze is thick and smooth, adding more sugar if needed.

7. Step 7

   Let cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Insert a knife between the cake and the pan to loosen it, put a rack on top of the pan, and flip the cake onto the rack. Set the rack on top of a plate, then spoon on the glaze when the cake is still warm, scooping up any glaze that drips onto the plate and using it to reglaze the cake. Transfer to a serving plate and decorate with remaining cranberries before the glaze sets.
