Orange Bundt Cake

I love this Orange Cake recipe any time of the year, but it is especially good around the holidays. It has a delicious orange flavor, a soft crumb center and a wonderful orange glaze on the top. This cake is perfect for a special family gathering, a pot luck dinner or a nice slice with a cup of tea. My husband is right over my shoulder today, waiting for a slice of this cake, it's one of his favorites.

My husband is waiting for this slice 

He wanted a dip of vanilla ice cream with his!

I am adding some of the orange zest

 to my ice cream, yum!

Don't forget to cover your cake to keep it moist.

I have my cake on a family retro cake plate and cover that belonged 

to my late Mother In Law. My husband loves it when 

I put special cakes in his Mom's cake plate and cover.

Thanks so much for stopping by the cottage to spend time in the kitchen with us today. I hope you will stay and have a slice of this awesome cake with us. Hope you have a fantastic week and come back to see us real soon!

Peace and Joy
