Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120ml) buttermilk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped (or use dried)
- 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 3 TBSP heavy cream
- ½ tsp vanilla
- Fresh cranberries for garnish
- Tiny sprigs of rosemary for garnish
- Optional: Powdered sugar snow
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease mini bundt pans well.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together.
- Cream butter and sugar until soft and pale.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
- Stir in half the flour, then the buttermilk, then the remaining flour.
- Fold in cranberries gently.
- Spoon batter into mini bundt molds — about ¾ full.
- Bake 18–24 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to finish cooling.
- Warm cream just until steaming — do not boil.
- Pour over white chocolate, let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla and let cool 5–10 minutes — glaze should be thick but pourable.
- Spoon glaze slowly over each cooled cake, letting it drip naturally.
- Top each with a small cluster of cranberries and add a sprig of rosemary.
- Finish with a whisper of powdered sugar.
Notes
- These cakes are perfect for Christmas tea gatherings and small holiday dinners.
- They can be wrapped as edible gifts or served on winter brunch platters.
- For a different flavor, try using tiny wild blueberries instead of cranberries.
