Orange Bundt Cake
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
