Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake with an Orange Glaze

So it is Saturday afternoon as I’m writing this, little man and big man aka “the husband” are out for the count taking a nap together and I’m trying to get a little work done.

My husbands brother and his family leave for Ecuador this coming Thursday for a year so we have spent a majority of the weekend helping them with a garage sale, painting around the house, and just spending time with them. Every time its time to go, Cason just starts crying because he doesn’t want to leave his cousins and stop playing.

It breaks my heart to think of how he’ll be when they won’t be just “down the street” and we have to say goodbye to them.

This week has been crazy and I have been cutting things down to the wire lately  so I decided to try and get a little ahead.

As I’ve been “running” from activity to activity this week I whipped up this Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake.

This Bunt Cake Recipe Has The Best Orange Glaze

Can you believe I’ve never made one before? I know crazy right!

Because it was my “freshmen” run at making a bundt cake I had a definite mishap. Fortunately I was able to get the cake out of the pan without a hassle but when I was pouring the glaze on top I did it when the bundt cake was on the serving platter. Definitely a no no.

The glaze was dripping down the sides and looked beautiful… until it started to form puddles of glaze on the platter which then caused the bottom of the bundt cake to soak up the glaze. Not so good.

How To Glaze A Bundt Cake

Lesson of the day when making bundt cakes with glaze, make sure you put the cake on a cooling rack with a plate underneath then pour the glaze on so that it drips down through the rack onto the other plate and you can transfer the cake to a serving platter. Looking absolutely beautiful!

Ya live and you learn.
