I simply love the Pioneer Woman!
This is a cake I watched her make recently…as I sat cross-legged…drooling…in front of the TV….
Just as I do every time I watch her show!
It’s ok…I know you do it too!
I wanted mine to taste a little more orangey—yes..that’s a word…so I altered it a little with 1/2 of the soda and 1/2 OJ…and all OJ in the glaze…Yum!
Yes…it’s 3 sticks of butter and 3 cups of sugar…
it’s all about balance my friends…
Cream that together and then add the eggs one at a time…
Add your flour and salt…
Pour in the Orange Crush and Orange Juice…
Mix well…scraping the bowl…
I also kept adding orange food color to deepen the color…
It became most beautiful like this!
Pour it in your greased and floured bundt pan…
After baking on 325 degrees for 1 hr and 10 minutes…perfection!!
Wow…it seems dangerously close to the edge!!
Let it cool 5 minutes in the pan and then turn out onto your plate…
Those 2 little spots that stuck to the pan will be fixed with glaze so you don’t have to fret at all!
Mix your glaze ingredients…you can also add some orange color to this if you wish…
Beautiful!
Delicious!
And that Sweet Man says we should get the tiny Orange Candy Slices and dip them in white and/or chocolate to add to the edges..
He has the best ideas!!
