Cranberry Clementine Bundt Cake

My favorite festive treat – Cranberry Clementine Bundt Cake!

I have a confession to make: I am obsessed with baking pans! Here I said it. I cannot have enough baking pans. My friends are usually obsessed with shoes, bags, make-up…those kind of things. I have my baking pans.

And to make it worse, I have discovered Nordic Ware since moving to US. Big mistake! I am always looking to add new pans to my reasonable (others may not agree with this statement) collection.

Now, I have an old Holiday Tree Bundt Pan, very similar to Nordic Ware Holiday Tree Bundt Pan that I am really found of and I get to use it only during the Holiday season.

As December arrives, first thing after starting the Advent Calendar is taking out my Holiday Tree Bundt out of the box and starting planning what to bake.

Getting back to my recipe, I made Cranberry Clementine Bundt cake, as I still had a lot of cranberries in my freezer. I have chosen clementines because of their sweet taste.

There is nothing better for afternoon tea than a poundcake. The baking pan makes it festive too! The prep for this cake is really easy, it just requires baking for almost 1 hour.

If you would like to add a scoop of ice cream on top, please do so.. I like my cranberry and clementine poundcake just as it is, enjoying its delicious, citrus taste along with a cup of tea.
