Tart, flavourful cranberries and oranges go together perfectly in my Vegan Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake.
Cranberry-Orange is a classic pairing during the holiday / winter season. You need just a few basic ingredients to make this delicious vegan cake. I love the tartness of cranberries in this cake, you may use fresh or frozen.
Rubbing the sugar and orange zest with your fingers will help to release all the essential oils for intense fragrance. This Vegan Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake is finished with a refreshing orange glaze which can be topped with a handful of cranberries or grated orange zest.

Very nice!
I didn’t have cranberries when doing a test batch, so I used semi-dried strawberries, and so lessened the (almond) milk to 100 ml. I also only did 60 g sugar, which was plenty sweet, and added a splash of vanilla. It was very moist, and the orange came through nicely without being overpowering. I was pleasantly surprised by this recipe, I think it will prove very versatile as well!
Thank Deanna, I am sure it tasted delicious with strawberries. This is a basic vegan cake recipe and very versatile.
