Glazed Orange Bundt Cake

This moist Glazed Orange bundt cake is made with orange zest, then soaked with a sweet orange syrup and finally glazed with a delicious orange concoction. Sounds delicious doesn’t it? I encourage you to make it because it’s super easy and perfect as a dessert or even breakfast. I look forward every morning for a slice of orange heaven.

My mom used to make this bundt cake a few years back and I got a craving for it last week. Thankfully the recipe was still in my old hotmail. I made it and it was as delicious as I remember it. I love the sweet tangy flavor and the moistness with every bite. Here is Florida, summer is the best season to get big juicy oranges and the perfect time to make this sinful Glazed Orange Bundt Cake.

This cake is so moist because as soon as I remove it from the oven, I add a tangy orange syrup all over and let it slowly soak up all the liquid as the cake cools. This method makes a huge difference in flavor and texture. And to top it all off I make a yummy glaze and decorate with more orange zest. What more can you ask for?

If you see the inside of the cake, you will be able to see little orange specs. Those are pieces of orange zest and the are mostly responsible for the flavoring. Believe it or not, zest has much more power and flavor than the the juice itself so don’t be stingy with the zest.

I hope you can try these delicious Glazed Orange Bundt Cake  at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet.
