Cranberry Buckle with Orange Glaze
Cranberry Buckle with Orange Glaze has fresh, seasonal cranberries baked in a simple cake with a cinnamon crumb top. Serve with a simple orange sugar glaze.
Ingredients
For the cake
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup shortening (aka Crisco)
1 large egg
3/4 cup whole milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
Additional shortening and flour to prepare the baking pan
For the topping
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into half inch pieces
For the glaze*
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Grease and flour a 9×9-inch pan or baking dish. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and mix until blended. Then add the milk and mix again until blended.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the 2 cups flour, baking powder and salt. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture slowly until blended (do not over-mix).
- With a rubber spatula, stir the cranberries into the batter, mixing evenly throughout.
- Spread the cranberry cake batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- In a small bowl, make the topping: Whisk together sugar, flour, and cinnamon. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the cake mixture in the pan.
- Bake at 375 degrees 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan.
- Just before serving, make the glaze by whisking orange juice and powdered sugar until smooth – you want the glaze to be slightly thick but still thin enough to drizzle. (Add more orange juice or powdered sugar to adjust the thickness.)
- With the same whisk, drizzle the glaze over the top of the buckle.
- Cut into squares for serving. Drizzle with more glaze* if desired.

Notes
*The ingredient amounts listed for the glaze will make enough to add a nice drizzle of the orange glaze to the top of the cranberry buckle before cutting into servings. If you want to serve with additional glaze over the top, double the amount of glaze that you make.
You can also serve this Cranberry Buckle with ice cream or whipped cream on the side.
