Spiced Orange Bundt Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Cakes and Desserts
Essential oils in citrus peel (like limonene) are released during baking, infusing the batter, while warm spices (cinnamon, cloves, ginger) add depth. This cake is an aromatic journey where the acidity of the orange juice reacts with the baking powder, lending extra airiness to the sponge.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease the pan.

Tip: Standard prep.
2 ✓

Whisk flour, salt, baking powder, and spices together.

Tip: Ground spices tend to clump; whisking with flour prevents this.
3 ✓

Cream the butter with the sugar and orange zest (this helps release the oils). Add eggs one at a time.

Tip: The friction of sugar crystals against the zest helps extract flavorful oils.
4 ✓

Alternately mix in the flour mixture and orange juice.

Tip: Acidic liquid (orange juice) tenderizes the crumb.
5 ✓

Bake for 35-40 minutes until done. Cool, then dust with powdered sugar.

Tip: If it browns too fast due to sugar content, cover loosely with foil.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the cake bitter?
You likely grated the white pith of the orange along with the zest. Only use the orange outer layer, that's where the oils are!
