ORANGE-PEAR BUNDT CAKE



Orange-Pear Bundt Cake image

I like to fiddle with recipes, sometimes combining them...this is a gem. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do plus I have made it lowfat! You may use some Splenda for a portion of the sugar if desired. To save more calories, omit the glaze and just enjoy the cake plain - it's refreshing! Ovens vary; remember to lower the temperature 25 degrees if using a dark bundt pan.

  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To make the glaze, you can use either fresh orange juice or orange liqueur. If you use orange liqueur, reduce the amount of water in the recipe.
  • If you want a more citrusy flavor, add a teaspoon of orange zest to the batter.
  • To make the cake ahead of time, bake it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about an hour before glazing.
