Cara Cara oranges are a great choice for this recipe. They are lower in acidity and rank high in sweetness and flavor. With the glaze, you can choose a little or pour a lot! It’s up to you.

If you don’t have cake flour, which is suggested, you can use all-purpose flour. Just substitute each cup of cake flour for a cup of all-purpose minus 2 tablespoons, adding 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Replace buttermilk easily, as well. Using a 1:1 ratio, one teaspoon of vinegar is added per one cup of milk. Start by adding vinegar to a measuring cup and top off with the milk.

Ingredients For Bundt Cake

3 cups sifted cake flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 cup unsalted butter, room temp

1 2/3 cup granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Zest from 2 oranges, 2 tbs

Juice from 2 oranges, 1/2 cup

3/4 cup buttermilk

Directions For Bundt Cake

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Measure all your dry ingredients in a medium bowl, except the sugar. So, the salt, flour, baking soda, and baking powder. I’m obsessed with these bowls by Dowan. Your wet ingredients will go into your Kitchenaid. If you don’t have one, get one. It simply makes life better!

Start by whipping the butter then add your sugar. Next, whisk in the eggs and vanilla. Now, add in the juice and the orange zest. Add your dry ingredients to the wet bowl slowly, alternating with the buttermilk, making sure not to over-stir. Spray your pan with a non-stick spray and add all the ingredients. This Carote windmill bundt pan is a beauty! Bake for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool before removing from the pan and glazing. Cooling racks help to speed up the process. You’re going to love this orange-glazed bundt cake!

Ingredients For Glaze

1 1/4 cups sifted confectioners sugar

2-3 tbs fresh orange juice

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Directions For Glaze

Whisk the sugar, juice, and vanilla together in a bowl. Use as little or as much juice as your glaze to your liking. The more juice you use the thinner your glaze will be. Drizzle over the entire cake once it is cool and serve.
