Lemon Bundt Cake with Orange Glaze

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.

.

.
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.

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 (http://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!
