- Bake - Transfer the batter to your Bundt pan. Bake 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool - Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack.Let the cake cool completely before glazing.
- Make the Glaze - Whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, and water until you have a thick, slow-pouring glaze. (Too thin and it’ll run off the cake.)375 g Powdered sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla extract, 4 - 6 tbsp Water or Milk
- Decorate - Drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled cake. Top with fresh cranberries or rosemary for that Christmas sparkle.
