Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon zest
• 0.5 cups Meyer lemon juice
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1.5 cups fresh cranberries
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan thoroughly, ensuring all crevices are covered.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the Meyer lemon zest and juice.

Step 5

Reduce the mixer to low speed and alternately add the dry ingredients and the Greek yogurt in three additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until incorporated, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold the fresh cranberries into the batter using a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Begin checking at the 50-minute mark.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by whisking the powdered sugar and Meyer lemon juice together in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled cake, letting it cascade down the sides. Allow the glaze to set for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
