Orange Bundt Cake

Don’t be afraid of a Bundt cake, it’s just cake in a Bundt pan. For years I’d seen al these beautiful shaped cakes and all this time I thought it will be so hard to make them and have that perfect shape.

Well I’m not afraid anymore, I bought a Bundt pan and started to test it. I absolutely wanted to make an orange Bundt cake because nothing screams Christmas as much as oranges.

So there you have it, a beautiful, moist, well shaped cake.
