I'm attending an open house party tomorrow and thought it was a great excuse to make another bundt cake. I thought it was fascinating to use the entire orange for a cake and couldn't help but want to make it, but knew that we did not to have a whole bundt cake laying around. The taste, of course, is very orange-y but not overpowering. Eric thought it was the right amount of orange and sweetness and wasn't keen on me adding the icing. I decided I'm going to do that before leaving for the party tomorrow.
Things I learned from this recipe:
I'm still considering trying to find a more accurate way to figure out if my oven has the right internal temperature. I cooked the cake for 10 minutes longer than the recipe called for because at certain intervals it was still soggy. Truth time: I finally realized that the open part of the bundt cake pan is really the bottom of the cake so that perceived sogginess was okay. When you finally flip the pan over that is the part you get to see which is probably why after 10 additional minutes of cooking the cake is a little more crispy than intended but we actually prefer it that way.
Would I make this recipe again?:
Maybe
