Soft Orange Bundt Cake

"I found this recipe on Allrecipes and when I made it I couldn't believe it! It is fantastic! The original recipe calls for lemon extract but I always use orange extract for a more orange flavor. The glaze isn't really a glaze but soaks into the cake. You can use powdered sugar instead of granulated for a more glaze effect if you like."

  1. I must say thank you once again for posting this lovely recipe. The last time I made this cake I didn't have all the ingredients called for and substituted. This time I was ready. What a wonderful, flavorful, moist cake. It is so easy to vary the ingredients and it still turns out special every time. Update: I have been making this lovely cake for 4 years now...as a birthday gift for a friend...and it always tastes as good as the first time we tried it. This cake is simply awesome, we love it.
     
  2. This cake recipe is very tasty, although my family was not very fond of the glaze. Next time I'll use a powdered sugar glaze using orange juice and no butter. The cake is very moist and has a great taste if you're an orange lover!
