The Freshman Cook: Champagne Soaked Cranberry Bundt Cake/#BundtBakers

It’s the start of the holidays and our Bundt Bakers theme  for this month is Booze! How fun is that???  I wanted a cake that celebrates the season, so I made a  Champagne Soaked Cranberry Bundt Cake. Fun and Festive! Champagne Soaked Cranberry Bundt Cake

  Soaking

1 1/4 cups Champagne 1 cup Fresh Cranberries

Cake

1 cup Champagne (I used Cooks Brut) 1 box French Vanilla or White Cake Mix 4 ounces Butter, melted 2 eggs 1 teaspoon Vanilla 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Glaze

1/2 cup Champagne 8 ounces Butter, softened 3 cups Confectioners’ Sugar 1 teaspoon Vanilla Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place your cranberries in a bowl and pour your champagne over them. Cover with plastic. You can use a plastic bag if you went to the grocery and forgot plastic wrap. Let sit for 1 hour. After an hour, chop cranberries in food processor or by hand. Mix all your cake ingredients in your mixing bowl.
Add your cranberries………
and stir them into your batter.
Pour your batter into your bundt pan and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. While they are cooling, pour the champagne for the glaze in to a bowl. Mix or whip to make the champagne go flat. You can also let it sit out for a few hours. Make your glaze by mixing all the listed ingredients If your glaze needs to be thinner, add more champagne, a little at a time. Drizzle glaze over bundt cakes and enjoy!
