I have altered this recipe somewhat but the original comes from David Bonom.
Ingredients:
cake
cooking spray
3 cups plus 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
note: i sometimes replace the cardamom with 1 teaspoon nutmeg.
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
2/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
1-1/2 tbsp. grated orange rind
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
glaze
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
4-1/2 teaspoons fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. To prepare cake, coat a 10 inch Bundt pan with cooking spray and dust with 1 tablespoon flour. Set aside.
3. Note: I prefer to grease the Bundt pan as opposed to spraying it.
4. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife.
5. Combine 3 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
6. Make a well in center of mixture.
7. Add 3/4 cup orange juice, canola oil, orange rind, lemon rind, vanilla, and eggs to flour mixture, and beat with a mixer at low speed until well combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.
8. Spoon batter into prepared cake pan, spreading evenly.
9. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
10. Cool in pan for 5 minutes on a wire rack, and remove from pan.
11. To prepare glaze:
12. Combine 1 cup of powdered sugar, 4-1/2 teaspoons orange juice, and lemon juice in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Drizzle glaze over warm cake and cool cake completely on wire rack.
