Glazed Orange Cake RecipeI made my glazed orange cake recipe the other day, which is usually delicious!This time though, I was very disappointed and it was all my fault - not the recipe's!!! What I did was I used a new bundt pan. Now I know I should be cautious WHENEVER I use a new cooking pan. But, of course, I was in a hurry and was not paying attention. Which is a bad thing! My new bundt pan was a dark charcoal color non stick pan. Up until that time, I had been using a tube pan, which was not teflon coated. You know, the one in which you make an angel food cake. What I usually did was spray it with Pan. The one for baking. Well, I made my glazed orange cake in it the way I had always done. I set the timer for one hour as it called for in the recipe. Boy, was that a mistake. I baked my cake too long! I was overdone and dry and tasted like a sweet bread, not cake at all. My husband said it was delicious, but he was just being nice. We only had one piece each of that cake. I would still advise you to try this orange cake recipe.
I would start checking for doneness at least 15 minutes earlier than the recipe calls for.
Orange Cake
Bake at 350 degrees one hour or until top springs back. Cool on wire rack 2 minutes. |
MY SWEETIES TIP REGARDING BAKING PAN: If you are using a dark pan, especially for the first time, check to see if your cake, or whatever dessert you are baking, is done before the time the recipe calls.
