    This Gluten Free Orange Bundt Cake is the perfect treat for anyone craving a moist, citrus-flavored dessert. Made with fresh orange juice, it’s a delightful twist on a traditional orange pound cake that's completely gluten free.

    This easy-to-make cake is perfect for a brunch cake or a gluten free holiday gathering. With a homemade orange glaze made from scratch, this tasty cake is a crowd-pleaser.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    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 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 extract or orange oil 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 to depending on the season. However, the orange flavor won't be as strong, so adding the orange oil will enhance your cake.

    Top Tip

    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 a great recipe to use with a smaller individual bundt cake pan too. The individual little cakes look so pretty served with the glaze at a gathering or on a dessert table.
