This recipe for gluten free orange bundt cake is easy to make from scratch. This moist cake is citrus infused and delicious. I used a simple, homemade glaze to top it off.
This cake is a great way to use up those last two oranges that are in your fruit bowl. Fresh orange zest and fresh squeezed orange juice make this cakes flavor pop! If you only have orange juice in a carton and dried zest that will work too.
This is smaller six cup bundt cake. You can use a larger pan if you don't have a smaller six cup bundt pan. The cake will just be shorter. It is still delicious and looks pretty served with the glaze overtop.
This is a great recipe to use with a smaller individual bundt cake pan. The individual cakes look so pretty served with the glaze at a gathering or on a dessert table.
How do I add orange flavor to the cake?
To get the best pop of orange flavor it's best to use fresh orange zest and fresh orange juice. You can use two large oranges to get the two teaspoons of zest and half cup of juice that you need.
This is a great way to use up the last to oranges in your fruit bowl. Even if they are starting to get too ripe they will work perfect for this recipe and give a sweet citrus flavor.
How long should a bundt cake cool before glazing?
It is best to let your gluten free orange bundt cake cool completely before adding the glaze. I like to let mine set for at least two hours.
I prefer to make the cake the day before I need it and glaze it the next day before serving or guests arrive. This lets the cake cool completely and allows the glaze to be fresh.
How can I enhance the orange flavor?
If you are using orange juice from a carton and/or dried zest you could also add ½ teaspoon of orange flavor to enhance the orange flavor.
There is nothing wrong with using juice from a carton or dried zest. Sometimes that's all I have access too. However, the orange flavor won't be as strong, so adding the orange oil will enhance your cake.

Description
This recipe for gluten free orange bundt cake is easy to make from scratch. This moist cake is citrus infused and delicious. I used a simple, homemade glaze to top it off.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups Gluten Free Flour
3 Tbsp. Arrowroot Powder
1 tsp. Baking Powder
½ tsp. Baking Soda
½ tsp. Sea Salt
½ cup Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
¾ cup Granulated Sugar
2 tsp. Orange Zest
2 large Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
¼ cup Sour Cream
½ cup Orange Juice
Glaze:
1 Tbsp. Milk
¼ tsp. Vanilla Extract
½ cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a six cup bundt pan with butter or coconut oil. Set aside.
In a bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of your mixer beat together the butter, sugar and orange zest until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla, sour cream and orange juice. Blend together.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat together until blended and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the batter into your greased bundt pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. The cake will be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched. Let set for 10-15 minutes and then turn the cake out of the pan onto your serving plate.
After the cake has cooled for at least two hours mix together the glaze and pour evenly over the cake.
Notes
If you are using dried orange zest and/or orange juice from a carton also add ½ tsp. orange flavoring.
