Description
A moist and flavorful orange bundt cake topped with a sweet orange glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 240 ml Milk
- 2 tsp White Vinegar
- 120 g Orange Juice (fresh)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tbsp Orange Zest
- 300 g Cane Sugar
- 170 g Butter (melted & warm)
- 330 g All Purpose Flour
- 30 g Cornstarch
- 1½ tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 30 ml Orange Juice (blood orange or navel orange)
- 90 g Powdered Sugar
- 14 g Butter (melted, poured and mixed with the powdered sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) Bundt pan with soft butter using a pastry brush then lightly spray it with oil to ensure easy release.
- In a bowl, combine the sugar and orange zest. Rub the mixture between your fingers to release the oils from the zest, infusing the sugar with a rich orange flavor.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, white vinegar, and fresh orange juice. Stir to combine.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the sugar mixture (infused with orange zest) to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pour the warm, melted butter into the batter and mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Use a spoon to evenly spread the batter, making sure it covers the edges of the pan and fills it evenly.
- Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the Bundt pan from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 25 minutes. Afterward, gently flip the cake onto a serving plate and tap the pan to release the cake.
- In a small bowl, mix the orange juice, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the orange glaze evenly over the cooled cake. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
- Slice and serve!
Notes
- For milk options, you can use any non-dairy milk if preferred.
- White vinegar can be replaced with lemon juice.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
- Ensure the butter is warm for better incorporation into the batter.
