Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°, grease and flour an 8 or 9 inch bundt pan.
ORANGE CAKE
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar, add butter and cut in until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in the zest.
- In a medium bowl with a fork or whisk beat together the eggs, vanilla and milk, then pour into the dry ingredients and stir together until just moist (do not over stir, about 18 stirs). (If you like more orange flavour add the juice of half an orange).
- Pour into prepared bundt pan and bake for approximately 40-60 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick. Let cool completely before adding the glaze. Enjoy!
ORANGE GLAZE
- In a small bowl whisk together until smooth the icing sugar, juice and milk or cream (If you like it thicker add more sugar).
ORANGE SYRUP GLAZE
- In a small pot add the orange juice and sugar, over medium heat stirring constantly bring to a boil until thickened. With a pastry brush, brush syrup over the top of the cake.
Notes
- For room temperature ingredients remove from the fridge at least 30-45 minutes before using.
- For every cup of all purpose flour, remove two tablespoons and replace with two tablespoons of corn starch. Be sure to sift the flour and cornstarch together a couple of times, this way it is sure to be properly combined and lump free.
- As long as the cake is unfrosted it should be kept at room temperature. Keep it in a cake container or well wrapped. It will keep for up to 3 days.
- Be sure to cool the cake completely then wrap it tightly in either plastic wrap or foil, place it in a freeze safe bag. The cake will keep for up to 2 months. When ready to thaw place the wrapped cake in the refrigerator to thaw before serving. Or you could freeze individual slices.
