ORANGE GLAZE FOR ZUCCHINI BUNDT CAKE



Orange Glaze for Zucchini Bundt Cake image

This recipe goes with Zucchini Bundt Cake with Orange Glaze.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 5m

Yield Makes 3⁄4 cup (enough for one 8-inch cake)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 pinches of ground cardamom (optional)
1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, plus 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
Whole milk, as needed, for thinning

Steps:

  • Whisk together sugar and cardamom. Whisk in orange zest and juice, and whisk until mixture has the consistency of thick honey. If mixture is too thick, whisk in milk, 1 teaspoon at a time.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Zucchini: Select firm and young zucchini with deep green color and no blemishes. They should be about 6-8 inches long and 2-3 inches in diameter.
  • Grating the Zucchini: Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the zucchini. This will create long, thin strips that will evenly distribute throughout the batter.
  • Measuring the Flour: Use the spoon and level method to measure the flour. This means spooning the flour into the measuring cup and then leveling it off with a knife.
  • Mixing the Batter: Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Baking the Cake: Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Making the Orange Glaze: While the cake is cooling, make the orange glaze. Simply whisk together powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Glazing the Cake: Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the orange glaze over the top. Let the glaze set for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

The fudgy orange zucchini cake with orange glaze is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The orange glaze adds a delightful citrus flavor that complements the zucchini perfectly. This cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
