Eggnog Bundt Cake with Sugared Cranberries Recipe

Filed Under: CELEBRATE, Christmas, COOK, Cranberries, Desserts, Holiday recipes Tagged With: baking, cake, cranberries, eggnog

Pumpkin spice is delicious – but only a few times and then I’m over it for another year. Peppermint? Not really my thing. But eggnog? OH MAN! I adore eggnog. Add in some cranberries and you have put me over the top into holiday treat heaven.

That’s why when I made this Eggnog Bundt Cake with Sugared Cranberries recipe a few years ago for our family Christmas celebration, I was pretty sure it was going to be a hit. I wasn’t disappointed. It has become much requested since then and now a tradition, appearing at one of our holiday celebrations every year.

Try having this cake with some of this delicious Lemon Ginger Cinnamon Tea. It complements the bundt cake flavors perfectly!

Eggnog Bundt Cake with Sugared Cranberries Recipe

This eggnog Bundt cake is easy to make (even for non-bakers like me) and oh so delicious. It was a huge hit with my family and friends and the perfect addition to any holiday menu.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 12
Calories 506 kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 3.4 oz vanilla instant pudding mix (1 standard box)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cut up into bits)
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups eggnog
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 12 oz cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour Bundt pan or use non-stick baking spray.

  2. Cream the butter and sugar together.

  3. Gradually mix in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla.

  4. In a separate bowl, stir the dry ingredients together.

  5. Slowly mix in about a quarter of the dry mixture into the butter and sugar mixture. Follow with some of the eggnog and continue alternating the dry mixture with the eggnog until all combined.

  6. Pour and spread batter into Bundt pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes. Toothpick inserted in center of cake should come out clean when cake is ready.

  7. Cool cake completely on a wire rack before removing from pan.

  8. To prepare the glaze: Simply mix the ingredients together until well blended. Pour over cake. I like to pour over half and let it soak in a bit before following up with the other half.

  9. To make the sugared cranberries (optional, for garnish): Combine 1/2 cup of white sugar with 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan. Stir together while heating up over medium heat. You just want to get this mixture to the point where the sugar has melted and dissolved completely.

  10. Dump a 12 oz. bag of fresh cranberries into a large bowl and pour this sugar water over them. Use a wooden spoon to make sure they are completely coated.

  11. Use a slotted spoon to place the cranberries on a wire rack and allow them to dry for an hour. Pour 1 1/2 cups of white sugar in a large bowl and add about 1/3 of the cranberries. Toss gently until well coated with sugar. 

  12. Remove and repeat until all cranberries are sugared. I generally start the sugaring process while the cake is in the oven so they are completed right around the same time that the cake is cooled and ready to serve.

I’m not really much of a baker but this cake was incredibly easy to make and absolutely scrumptious!

Looking for another fun Bundt cake idea (as a non-baker, these are my favorite kind to make. So easy, never fail!) for the holidays? Check out these yummy mini gingerbread Bundt cakes. They’d be incredible with the sugared cranberries too!
