Pumpkin-Cranberry Spice Cake

11/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup white whole-wheat flour

1 tablespoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons ground ginger

1 teaspoon allspice

1 teaspoon nutmeg

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

cups sugar

cup canola oil

3 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin

2 teaspoons grated orange zest

2 tablespoons orange juice

2 tablespoons water

1 cup dried cranberries

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a large bundt pan with cooking spray or brush with oil. Add a small amount of granulated sugar and turn the pan to coat the inside, discarding any excess.

In a medium bowl, stir together both flours, the cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on high until the mixture is thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Add the pumpkin, orange zest and juice, and water. Beat on low until smooth.

Sift the dry ingredients on top of the pumpkin mixture and stir just until combined. Stir in the cranberries.

Using a rubber spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted at the center comes out clean. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Serves 16.
