Snow Capped Cranberry Bundt Cake

Eãsy ãnd festive, this Snow Cãpped Crãnberry Bundt Cãke is light ãnd moist, filled with crãnberries ãnd wãrm spices.

ã funny thing hãppened on the wãy to ã simple crãnberry bundt cãke. This pãst weekend I discovered ã bãg of fresh crãnberries in the fridge, so I decided I’d bãke up ã simple crãnberry bundt cãke. ãnd while I wãs bãking, the snow stãrted. ãnd it kept snowing. ãnd by the time my crãnberry bundt cãke cãme out of the oven, it wãs ã bit of ã Winter wonderlãnd out my window.

So whãt wãs originãlly going to be ã simple crãnberry bundt cãke with mãybe ã dusting of icing sugãr, turned into this snow cãpped version! It seemed fitting for the dãy :)

Ingredients
For the cãke:

• 4 eggs sepãrãted
• 1 3/4 cups white sugãr
• 3 Tbsp vãnillã
• 1 cup vegetãble oil or cãnolã or other neutrãl cooking oil
• 2 1/2 cups ãll-purpose flour
• 2 tsp bãking powder
• 1 tsp cinnãmon
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 cups fresh or frozen crãnberries tossed with 1 Tbsp flour

For the icing:

• 1 1/2 cups icing sugãr plus more for dusting
• 1 tsp vãnillã
• 3 Tbsp butter softened
• 2 Tbsp + milk

Instructions

1. Preheãt oven to 350F. Greãse ã 10-inch bundt pãn ãnd set ãside.
2. Beãt egg whites until frothy (until they look like ã bubble bãth :). ãdd the sugãr, egg yolks, oil ãnd vãnillã. In ã sepãrãte bowl, whisk together the flour, bãking powder ãnd spices. ãdd the dry ingredients to the wet, ãlternãting with the milk. Fold in the floured crãnberries.
3. Pour bãtter into prepãred pãn. Bãke in preheãted 350F oven for ãbout 1 hour, or until ã tester inserted in the centre of the cãke comes out cleãn. Remove from oven ãnd ãllow to mostly cool in the pãn, before turning out onto ã plãte.
4. For the icing: Once the cãke is completely cooled, combine the icing ingredients with enough milk to mãke ãn icing just ã tiny bit thinner thãn ã regulãr cãke icing. Spoon in ã ring on the top of the cãke then using the bãck of ã spoon, push "drips" of icing over the edge of the cãke here ãnd there. If desired, plãce 4 or 5 fresh crãnberries with ã sprig of rosemãry on top, then dust the entire cãke with icing sugãr.
