Directions

Dice toast. Heat milk and pour over bread cubes. Let it soak for 20-30 minutes. Finely chop the walnuts.

Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff. Cream the butter while gradually adding sugar, vanilla sugar, egg yolks and lemon zest. Stir in soggy bread, walnuts and breadcrumbs. Fold in beaten egg whites and cranberries.

Fill a large pot with 6 inches of water and bring to a boil. Immerse bundt cake form into the water. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for about 45minutes over low heat. Boil cranberry juice.

Whisk cornstarch with some cold water. Stir juice with cornstarch and bring to a boil again. Add cranberries and let it cool.

Remove the bundt cake form from the water.

Let it cool for 10 minutes. Slide bread pudding from the baking form onto a plate.
