ORANGE SUGAR GLAZE
I discovered this powdered sugar glaze when I ran out of milk one day and needed to whip up a glaze for my bundt cake. It goes great with chocolate bundt cakes or orange bundt cakes even just as a great glaze on sugar cookies if you're looking for that little something different. It also went great with Evie*'s recipe Recipe #11712 here on Zaar. Thanks for a perfect compliment to my icing Evie*!

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:
- Choose the right oranges: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe oranges with a deep orange color and a firm texture. Avoid oranges that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Zest your oranges finely: When zesting your oranges, be sure to use a fine grater to get as much flavor as possible. Avoid grating the white pith, as this can be bitter.
- Use a variety of orange juices: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of fresh orange juice and store-bought orange juice. This will give your glaze a more well-rounded flavor.
- Don't overcook the glaze: The glaze should be cooked until it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Overcooking the glaze will make it too thick and sticky.
- Let the glaze cool slightly before using: This will help to prevent the glaze from running off the cake. You can also reheat the glaze gently if it becomes too thick.
Conclusion:
Orange glaze is a versatile and delicious way to add flavor and moisture to your cakes. Whether you're making a simple pound cake or a more elaborate layer cake, an orange glaze is sure to make your dessert shine. With its bright citrus flavor and beautiful golden color, orange glaze is the perfect finishing touch for any cake. Note: Adding a bit of orange zest to the glaze can also enhance the orange flavor even more.
