Orange Apple Bundt Cake

Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Essential oils hidden in orange zest dissolve best in fat. Therefore, for truly intense orange flavor, always mix the zest into the butter or egg yolks, not the flour. The apple provides moisture, while the orange adds freshness.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare the pan (grease and flour).

Tip: Dusting with cocoa powder instead of flour can create a nice contrast for light cakes.
2 ✓

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Tip: Sift for airiness.
3 ✓

Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla extract until very frothy (min. 5 mins).

Tip: The egg foam maintains the structure until the baking powder activates.
4 ✓

Melt the butter. Mix in the orange zest, orange juice, and squeezed grated apple.

Tip: Warm butter draws out the orange oils (flavor extraction).
5 ✓

Pour the butter-fruit mixture into the egg foam, mix gently, then fold in the flour mixture.

Tip: Work carefully so as not to deflate the eggs completely.
6 ✓

Bake for 40-45 minutes (toothpick test).

Tip: The acidic orange juice softens gluten strands, making the cake very tender.
7 ✓

Invert onto a rack after resting for 10 minutes.

Tip: If inverted immediately, steam cannot escape and the cake may become gummy.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the cake bitter?
You likely grated the white pith (albedo) of the orange as well. Use only the orange outer layer (flavedo), where the oils are.
