Usually towards the middle of winter is when I start to crave all the bright citrus stuff. Grapefruits, oranges, and lemons - oh my! And this Orange Bundt Cake takes the cake. The bundt cake that is. With a light dusting of powdered sugar on top, this cake is perfectly light, sweet, and delicious.
This cake would be perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a dessert option. And with it being divided into 12 servings, it’s enough to serve a crowd, or have plenty on hand for meals through the week. With just enough sweetness and flecks of orange, this really is a very versatile cake.
I lightened this cake up by subbing in some unsweetened almond milk and swapping out more than half of the sugar for natural sweetener. I like to use stevia, but anything that measures cup-for-cup like sugar should work just the same!
The outer edges are perfectly browned while the inner cake part is moist and yet crumbly as any good bundt cake should be.
