About This Recipe
- The combination of orange and blueberry flavors and aromas makes this Bundt flavorful and delicious.
- This recipe uses straightforward ingredients in almost every cake recipe. This includes eggs, flour, butter, oil, etc.
- Orange zest has a solid aromatic oil that, when released, creates the best flavoring in baked goods. We will rub the grated zest with granulated sugar to bring that beautiful aroma out of the orange zest. The coarse friction from the granulated sugar releases the oil from the orange grind. We need one large orange zest and juice.
- As listed above, this recipe calls for butter and oil. Butter adds a ton of flavor, and oil is the source of fat and keeps the crumb moist longer.
- Buttermilk and yogurt are acidic and work as a tenderizer, and make a balanced sweetness.
- One ingredient that I would like to talk about is the blueberry. Blueberries play a big role in this Bundt cake's flavor and texture. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, make sure not to thaw them. Thawing the berries makes their juice bleed out, making the batter dark.
- To prepare the pan, I greased it with butter and sprinkled it with a mix of almond flour and sugar. Almond flour makes an excellent barrier between the pan and the batter and helps the Bundt o slide off the pan.
How To Make The Blueberry Orange Bundt
- Start by rubbing the orange zest into the sugar until the orange zest has released its aroma and oil.
- Beat the eggs and the sugar mixture for 2-3 minutes until all is light and fluffy.
- Mix the melted butter, oil, orange juice, yogurt, and buttermilk well.
- Add the butter mixture to the egg mixture alternating with dry ingredients in three passes. Use a spatula to fold them together.
- Toss one tablespoon of flour over the blueberries and make sure all the blueberries are coated with flour. Add them to the batter and gently mix.
- Mix one tablespoon of almond flour and granulated sugar, toss at the bottom of the Bundt pan, and get it in every crease.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to bring the air bubbles to the surface.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes. Let it cool down in the pan for 15 minutes, then flip it to the cooling rack. Let it cool down before cutting.
