I'm not telling you anything if I tell you that we are right in the peak citrus season, are we? The other day, in the market I came across these pretty organic oranges, I wanted to use them, not for juice, but in cake for breakfast and snack. Originally, these beautiful oranges were supposed to be blood oranges - but I soon found that I should do without their beautiful red color! It doesn't change much to my recipe, you can use either classic oranges or blood oranges. So I decided to realize this Orange Bundt Cake & Orange Icing, the icing is a little extra that makes it even softer and more fragrant (even if this bundt cake is already a lot).
And then, I inaugurated my pretty bundt cake mold unearthed not long ago - I say “unearthed” because I was looking for a bundt cake mold that does not feed 20 people! - I'm exaggerating, but it's a bit the case with Bundt cake molds. For my little family, a "small" mold was therefore perfect for me. The advantage with the cake molds of this brand is that it is almost impossible to miss the baking and the final design of the cake is sure to be superb. And then, this golden mold is gorgeous, I don't want to hide it, rather display it in my kitchen, take a look !
Back to the recipe, as I told you, this bundt cake is very fragrant (juice + orange zest), it is particularly soft. I kept it in a cover for several days and it keeps very well, perfect to accompany my morning coffee;)

Hello Aurélie,
I'm going to try this cake, the last time I made an orange cake it was bitter! I do not know why ?
Is there bitterness in your cake too?
Good day to you

Tested approved !! it is really very good On the other hand I made it in a kougloff mold so I had a result a little more cake texture than yours I think or it is that I put a little too much yeast or baking soda I do not know ... and it cooked a little more, anyway thank you for this nice recipe
LadyMilonguera
It is very beautiful your bundt cake.
Mélanie
Magnificent ! Your mold was successful because it is out of stock on amazon ;-) is it enough to butter it so that the cake turns out as well? Or did you also put flour?

Hello Mélanie, the mold is back in stock :) I personally buttered, that's enough, but flouring more can only be better!

Hello Aurélie,
Do you think it is possible to replace orange juice with lemon?
Thank you and good afternoon to you

Hi
Can we use passion juice instead of orange juice?
I prefer exotic fruits :)
