Cranberries and the holidays go hand in hand. I love the combination of cranberry and orange so this holiday season I was on the hunt to create a delicious cake. I researched and tested recipes until I came up with my Christmas cranberry orange bundt cake. My Husband and two little boys love it. Now I’m making them as gift for friends, family, neighbors and teachers.

Cranberry orange bundt cakes make a perfect holiday gift for neighbors and teachers. My son Blake helped me make some for his teachers. I took his picture while we baked and made it into a gift tag.
