Ingredients
- For the Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice from about 3 oranges
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5-6 tablespoons orange zest from about 3 oranges
- Pinch of salt
- For the Glaze:
- 1 1/4 cups icing sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- For the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 F (176 C) and prepare a bundt cake pan by greasing it well. The bundt pan I used is fairly small and is 7.5 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep.
- In a medium large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients, and mix until combined. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients and whisk until combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredient mix to the wet ingredients, and lightly whisk until combined. Do not over mix.
- Pour the batter into the bundt cake and bake for about 30-40 minutes until lightly golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean. (See Notes)
- Remove from oven and let cool till room temperature and then gently take out the bundt cake. Cool completely on baking rack.
- For the Orange Glaze:
- Mix all the ingredients until fully combined.
- Drizzle on completely cooled cake and serve.
Notes
Baking times may vary according to your oven, so the best way to check if the cake is done is to insert a toothpick, if it comes out clean then the cake is ready.
