Sometimes something smells SO good baking, that it's hard to let it cool more before diggin' in, LOL!

@KingstonsMom. Thank you for "capturing" and reposting for me.  I don't know how to do this here on my MacBook (I'm a technologically challenged dinosaur) so I type in recipes by hand.

So appreciate you did this and it is a reaally good recipe, as is the one from  @Harpa which I made when she originally contributed it.

Best,

@aroc3435 

I just use 'Copy & Paste', not sure if it works differently on a Mac, but in Windows, you highlight what you want to copy, right click and from the drop down menu, choose 'copy'.

Then go to where you want to post it (here, email, etc.) and right click again and from the drop down menu, choose 'paste'.

Voila! HTH!

@KingstonsMom   Maybe it is the highlighting step that I keep forgetting.  The next time I have a recipe I want to share from a website i will try it out.

Thank you so very much.

A co-worker brought in this Lemon-Cranberry Bundt Cake on my birthday many years ago.  It was so pretty (she used a decorative pan) and delicious, and a lovely gesture:

12 tbsp room-temperature butter

1/3 cup brown sugar

3 cups fresh cranberries

2 1/2 cups flour

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 tbsp lemon zest

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

3 eggs

3/4 cup buttermilk

Generously grease every corner of Bundt pan with butter (the top of this cake is sticky).

Sprinkle brown sugar over bottom of pan.  Spoon cranberries over sugar. 

Whisk flour, baking powder and soda, and salt in bowl.

In big bowl, stir sugar and zest.  Beat in butter with electric mixer until fluffy.  Stir in vanilla.  Stir in eggs one at a time.

Stir buttermilk and lemon juice in a mug.

Gently mix in 1/3 of dry mixture into butter.  Mix in 1/2 of buttermilk mixture.  Mix in 1/2 of remaining dry mixture.  Mix in rest of buttermilk mixture.  Mix in rest of dry mixture.

Spread batter over cranberries in Bundt pan.  Bake in 350 degree oven until top is lightly golden, 45-55 minutes.  Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.  Turn out of pan onto serving plate and cool completely. 

Can be topped with glaze of 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 1/2-2 tbsps lemon juice whisked until smooth.  Let set for 10 minutes to set glaze.

3/4 cup butter, softened (3 sticks)

@Harpa  This sounds like a delicious cake, whether you use cranberries or a different fruit. Please check your butter quantity, as 3/4 cup of butter is 1 1/2 sticks, not 3 sticks. I'm going to print this recipe and try it this week. Yum!

Thanks, @Eileen in Virginia ! It is definitely 3 sticks. So, I may have copied that part wrong. All that butter, eggs & sugar! (I guess that's why they suggest little pieces!)

@Harpa  Thank you for clarifying! I'll have to make this when DH isn't around. He doesn't like butter, but doesn't know when he's eating it in something, either. 🤫

@Harpa Thanks for posting this! I have all of these ingredients and since it will be cool here tomorrow, I am going to make one. (it will be my Cranberry October 8th cake, lol).
