How to make Apple Cranberry Pecan Bundt Cake
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: In a cup of boiling-hot water, soak 1 cup of dried cranberries, covered.
Step 3: To make the cake batter, start by whisking 2 and ½ cups flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Then, add the softened butter and sugar to another large bowl. Mix well using a mixer for about 3 minutes on a high setting until you have an even consistency. To the butter-sugar mixture, add 3 eggs and 2 tsp vanilla extract and beat well until blended and light in colour.
Step 4: Into the butter-sugar mixture, add the flour mixture in 3 gradual steps. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture while mixing at low speed until well incorporated. Then, add 1/3 cup of buttermilk. Now, add the second 1/3 flour mixture, beating continuously until just mixed. Add the second 1/3 cup of buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Lastly, add the third 1/3 flour mixture, then the final 1/3 cup of buttermilk, beating until just incorporated.
Step 5: Drain the cranberries and wring out the water. Fold in the cranberries to the batter along with the chopped apple, and chopped pecans using a spatula.
Step 6: Using a baking spray, grease the bundt cake, then sprinkle with flour.
Step 7: Into the prepared pan, gently pour the batter. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about an hour or until the toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. When done, take the cake out of the oven and place it on a wire rack for about 40 minutes.
