Lemon Bundt Cake with Orange Glaze

April 14, 2015 by Emily Hill 3 Comments

Apparently those easy lemon cookies with lemon glaze have truly changed my taste buds because I couldn’t wait to bake—and eat—this lemon bundt cake with orange glaze.

And eat it I did.

.
Lemon Bundt Cake with Orange Glaze -- super decadent yet light on flavor. The orange glaze takes it from delicious to perfection.

.
What takes this lemon bundt cake from delicious to divine is the orange glaze. Poured over the warm bundt, it soaks right into the cake giving it a hint of orange flavor and an extra dash of moistness.

Sorry if you’re not a fan of the word “moist” but this cake truly is just that.

Wait, let’s get a closeup of all that moist.

Though the recipe has you pouring the glaze over the lemon bundt cake after flipping it onto a serving platter, next time I think I’ll try the method used in this glazed lemon poppy seed bundt cake and pour it around the bundt while it’s still in the pan.

You may not like the word "moist" but it's the best way to describe this lemon bundt cake. The orange glaze takes it from delicious to divine.

Serves: 12
Ingredients
Cake
  • 1 box lemon cake mix
  • 1 small box lemon instant pudding mix
  • ¾ cup water
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • ¼ cup applesauce
  • 4 eggs
Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ⅓ cup orange juice
Instructions
Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
  2. Beat cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil and applesauce until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat on high 2 minutes.
  4. Pour into prepared pan and bake 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes.
  5. Invert cake onto serving platter.
Glaze
  1. Combine powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
  2. Drizzle over cake.*
Notes
* Next time I'm going to pour the glaze into the cake pan using the method from this Glazed Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake (https://www.halfscratched.com/2013/04/glazed-lemon-poppy-seed-bundt-cake/) and see if more of the glaze makes it into the cake rather than the platter. It will be an adventure!

    I think the gaze should have the orange juice measured in tablespoons, not cups…1-3 tablespoons.

      The recipe is actually correct as written. It’s 1/3 cup (on-third) cup, not 1-3 cup. One-third cup is about 5 tablespoons. :)
