How to make Apple Cranberry Pecan Bundt Cake?
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Using baking spray with flour, grease a 9-inch bundt pan. Make sure to grease the entire inside of the pan including the little details.
Step 3: In 1 c boiling water, soak 1 c of dried cranberries. Cover and set aside.
Step 4: To make the batter, mix 2 1/2 c flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In another large bowl. Add the softened butter and sugar. Mix for about 3 minutes with a mixer on high until evenly combined.
Step 5: To the butter-sugar mixture, add 3 eggs and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Continue to mix until light in color and well-blended.
Step 6: In three gradual steps, add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture. First, set your mixer on low speed, then add the first 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, slightly being until well blended. Next, add 1/3 c of buttermilk, followed by the other 1/3 c of the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Add another 1/3 c of the flour mixture, beating until just mixed. Now, add the last 1/3 of the flour mixture along with the final 1/3 c of buttermilk. Beat until just incorporated.
Step 7: Drain the dried cranberries and make sure to wring out as much water out. Fold this into the cake batter using a spatula along with the chopped apple, and chopped pecans.
Step 8: Into the prepared bundt pan, gently pour the batter. In the preheated oven, place a baking sheet and the bundt pan on top. Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Take the pan off the oven when done and transfer it to a wire rack. Allow the cake to cool for about 40 minutes.
