GLAZE
Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F). Grease and flour a 2.5-L (10-cup) Bundt pan. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt. Using a mixer, cream butter and sugar in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in lemon zest and vanilla. Alternate mixing in the flour mixture and sour cream on low until combined. Spoon ½ the batter into the pan. Add cranberry sauce and top with the remaining batter.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cover loosely with aluminum foil if needed. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes inside the pan. Invert the cake onto a wire rack over a plate or serving dish. Allow cake to cool completely.
Prepare the glaze: In a bowl, whisk the icing sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Drizzle over the cake. Slice and serve. Makes 10 servings.
