<h3>Recipe: Cranberry Bundt Cake</h3>
<b>Ingredients:</b>
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 and 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 and 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
<b>Instructions:</b>
<b>1. Prepare the Pan:</b> Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan, ensuring it's well coated to prevent sticking.
<b>2. Combine Dry Ingredients:</b> Whisk together baking soda, flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Set aside.
<b>3. Cream Butter and Sugar:</b> In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
<b>4. Add Eggs and Vanilla:</b> Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
<b>5. Alternate Mixing:</b> Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, alternating with sour cream. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
<b>6. Fold in Cranberries:</b> Gently fold in the cranberries using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; you want the cranberries evenly distributed but not mashed.
<b>7. Bake:</b> Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
<b>8. Cool and Serve:</b> Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

<h3>Tips for Success:</h3>
<b>Use Fresh or Frozen Cranberries:</b> If using frozen cranberries, there's no need to thaw them before folding them into the batter. They will bake beautifully and retain their tartness.
<b>Properly Prepare Your Pan:</b> Greasing and flouring the Bundt pan thoroughly ensures the cake releases easily after baking. This step is crucial to maintain the cake's shape and appearance.
<b>Do Not Overmix:</b> Overmixing the batter can result in a dense cake. Mix the ingredients until just combined to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
<b>Check for Doneness:</b> Every oven is different, so start checking for doneness around 45 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Now that you have the recipe and tips, it's time to create your own Cranberry Bundt Cake masterpiece. Embrace the flavors of cranberry season year-round with this simple yet elegant dessert. Gather ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to savor the joy of baking and indulging in a slice of homemade goodness. Happy baking!
