An Orange Bundt Cake is the ultimate favourites for any citrus lovers with a sweet tooth. It is sweet, moist and packs in a citrus bite in each slice. While you bake this cake, your kitchen will be filled with that aromatic scent of oranges. This Orange Bundt Cake is a delightful treat not just for valentines but also any family gatherings, holidays, tea-time, weekend brunch or any time you get a sweet craving.
Orange is an unusual flavour but in a cake it turns out really delicious. It is a great tea time dessert. Here is one of my favourite orange cake recipes. You can watch the full recipe at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxYD0geG4Xw

ORANGE CAKE

- Grease and flour a 9 inch bundt pan.
- In a glass bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and corn starch and keep aside.
- Beat butter in an electric stand mixer until light and creamy.
- Gradually add in the sugar and beat until fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Now add in the orange and lemon zest and beat a couple of minutes.

- Finally add in the orange juice and the flour, a little at a time until everything is fully mixed.
- Transfer the batter into the bundt pan and bake in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes until a wooden skewer or fork inserted comes out clean.
- Remove cake from oven and cool about 20 minutes. ORANGE SYRUP
- Take 3 tsp. orange juice along with 3 tsp. sugar in a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer. Let it cool a few minutes.

- Add a tbsp of cream cheese into a medium bowl and whisk until smooth about 4 to 5 minutes. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and mix. Finally add in about a tbsp. of milk to make it a smooth pouring consistency.
- Now glaze the cake with the cream frosting. Slice and serve.
