Cake Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (65 ml) liquid milk
  • 1/4 cup (65 ml) fresh orange juice
  • 3/4 cup (150 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3/4 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Glaze (Optional)

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the cake.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the vegetable oil, milk, orange juice, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix well to incorporate all liquids evenly.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently using a spatula or mixer on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  5. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake has a golden-brown crust.
  7. Cool the Cake: Remove the bundt cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the Glaze: While the cake cools, whisk together powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, and orange zest until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more juice if needed.
  9. Glaze the Cake: Drizzle the orange glaze evenly over the cooled bundt cake to enhance its citrus flavor and add a beautiful glossy finish.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve the cake with tea or coffee. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Notes

  • Use fresh orange juice and zest for the best flavor.
  • Ensure all wet ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer taste.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing to prevent melting.
  • This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
