Step 2: Pour glaze over the loaf and let sit to harden. Enjoy!

Do You Frost This Cake 

I personally don’t frost the cake always, but you will find even a dusting of powdered sugar or a simple orange juice glaze is a delicious topping.

Or serve the cake naked, it packs enough flavor it doesn’t need a topper. 

Storing Cake 

This cake can be stored on the counter or in the refrigerator.

You’re welcome to choose which you would like.

Also, it does freeze nicely if you want to save some for later. Just place it in a freezer friendly bag and freeze it for up to three months. 

Then, thaw on the counter for a quick thaw or sit in the fridge overnight for a slow thaw. 

Expert Tips 

• I recommend using a fresh-squeezed orange juice for a nice bold flavor. 
• With a bundt cake, you will cook longer than a traditional cake as it is a lot denser. 
• If you find the top is browning and it is not fully cooked, tent the top with aluminum foil. 
• Allow the cake to fully cool down before storing it to prevent the top of the cake to become soggy. 
• You can swap the orange juice with another type of citrus fruit if you would like. Grapefruit or even clementines would be tasty.
