Ingredients

  • 3 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream full fat for best texture
  • 2 tbsp orange zest freshly grated
  • 0.25 cup orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 cup fresh cranberries tossed in 1 tbsp flour to prevent sinking

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Make-Ahead: This cake develops deeper spice flavor if made one day in advance. Substitution: You can use frozen cranberries; do not thaw them before adding to the batter to avoid streaking the cake purple.
