Ingredients
Cranberry Orange Cake:
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup oil (such as canola oil)
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream (preferably full-fat)
- 1-2 teaspoons orange zest
- 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries (cut in half)
Orange Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- (1) ounce pkg. cream cheese (softened)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 Tablespoons fresh orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, stir flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In another mixing bowl, cream oil, orange juice, eggs, sour cream, and orange zest until completely mixed.
- Fold in dry ingredients, mixing only until combined. Cut cranberries and toss in a bowl of flour (this helps to keep them from sinking to the bottom of the cake). Fold in cranberries. Pour into greased (3) 8-inch or (2) 9-inch cake pans.
- Bake for 19-22 minutes, depending on the size of pan used. To test if the cakes are done, insert a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cakes are done. Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from pans.
Orange Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese for 4 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down sides of the bowl halfway through mixing. Stir in powdered sugar, orange zest, and orange juice.
- Once cakes are cooled, frost with orange cream cheese frosting.
