Do you find that the weeks before and of a long weekend tend to feel longer?
It’s a similar drawn out feeling you get as a child where you are so excited about tomorrow that today cannot pass by quick enough.
Where night is going too slowly and yet tomorrow comes much faster if you just close your eyes and fall to sleep.
I feel like that this week, particularly as I’m fighting off a weird virus which is tiring me out, but I couldn’t let this get me completely down.
No matter what, there is always time for cake, especially an orange cake.
Now I know, I just had a recipe that included orange, but these two recipes couldn’t be more different and this is a perfect warming cake when the weather outside is a little cool.
Quite honestly, I just never tire of citrus and I hope you give this recipe a go as it was enjoyed by all who ate it.
Orange Bundt Cake with Maple Walnut Glaze
Ingredients:
Cake
100g butter, softened
3/4 cup superfine/caster sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1/4 cup orange juice
Zest of 3 oranges
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Glaze
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 180°C/355F and grease the bundt tin.
Cream the butter and sugar for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 egg until well combined and fluffy, approximately 1 minute, repeat with the remaining eggs.
Zest and juice the oranges and mix with the yogurt until well combined. Add the juice mixture and the extract into the egg mixture.
Sift the flour, baking powder and soda into the orange mixture and mix until smooth.
Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Set aside on a cooling tray.
To make the glaze, place the maple syrup, brown sugar and water into a saucepan and place on a high heat until bubbling.
Add the walnuts and stir until well combined.
Carefully pour the glaze over the cool bundt cake, ensuring the walnuts are congregated on top.
Serve cooled and with whipped cream if you wish (I’ve been told it goes particularly well with coffee).

This looks like a lovely cake, and it's even more appealing on those pretty plates!
