Moist Orange Bundt Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl; set aside.
• Beat white sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, then beat in vanilla extract and orange zest. Add flour alternately with sour cream in 3 additions, beginning and ending with flour. Beat until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then unmold the cake onto the wire rack to cool completely.
• While the cake is cooling, bring orange juice, sugar, and orange zest to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and cook until syrupy, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Drizzle warm syrup over cake slices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a bundt pan.
• Mix together the orange zest and juice, orange liqueur and eggs in a large bowl and set aside. In a smaller bowl, toss the cranberries with 1 tablespoon of the flour and set aside.
• In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and remaining 2 1/2 cups flour and mix to combine. On low speed, slowly add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time and continue to mix until a pea-sized crumble texture is achieved. Turn the speed to medium and slowly stream in the egg/orange mixture until combined. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gently fold in the cranberry mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top.
• Bake until a cake tester inserted in the cake comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 20 to 30 minutes, then remove the cake and serve.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 10- to 15-cup bundt pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the orange zest. Then beat in the eggs and egg yolks 1 at a time. Beat in the poppy seeds and vanilla extract. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool for 15 minutes, then flip the cake out and let it cool completely.
• For the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and orange zest and juice. Drizzle the cake with the glaze to serve.
