There is nothing better than waking up and having breakfast with something soft, fragrant and homey.. This is the easiest orange bundt cake recipe there is. It has been tested for decades as it is in my mom's recipe notebook. It always turns out well and is made with very few ingredients. I'll tell you which ones..
I beat the eggs and sugar together with a pinch of salt until the mixture was light and foamy. At this point I grated the orange zest into it.
I poured in the oil and orange juice and mixed gently. Finally I incorporated the sifted baking powder and flour.
I mixed until I obtained a smooth, lump-free batter. I then transferred the batter into a previously greased and floured mold.
I baked my bundt cake at 180 degrees for about 40 minutes, doing the toothpick test to check it was cooked. Once removed from the oven, I dusted it with powdered sugar.
A bowl to make the batter
A bundt cake mold to bake it
It stays soft and tender for up to three days (but it will disappear sooner) if well wrapped in plastic wrap.
I used a bundt cake mold... but a cake pan of any shape will do just fine, even a loaf pan.
