Kitchen utensils
Preparation steps
Heat the oven to 350°F. Butter 3 small Bundt pans and sprinkle with breadcrumbs, tilting the pans to lightly coat the inside completely then tap gently to remove any excess.
Mix together the pecans, cranberries, hazelnuts, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, spices, salt, and orange zest.
Sift the powdered sugar into a mixing bowl and beat with the butter until fluffy. Stir in the egg yolk and whole egg.
Put into the pans and bake for about 20 minutes, testing with a skewer inserted into the cakes; it should come out clean.
Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove and cool the cakes on a wire rack.
Sift a little powdered sugar over the cakes just before serving.
