Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Orange zest
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.75 cups Dried cranberries
• 0.75 cups Dried apricots, chopped
• 0.5 cups Chopped pecans
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 teaspoons Orange zest (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan or spray it with a baking spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest.

Step 5

Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, pecans, and walnuts using a spatula.

Step 7

Transfer the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the Bundt cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.

Step 10

To make the orange glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the orange glaze evenly over the top of the Bundt cake, letting it drip down the sides.

Step 12

Slice and serve. Enjoy your Nutty Fruit Bundt Cake with an Orange Glaze!
