EASY Orange & Poppyseed {Mini Bundt Cakes}

Bundtinis ~ Orange-Glazed Personal Desserts

These delicious beauties can be served in a variety of ways. For instance, this recipe includes a lovely orange liqueur glaze. However, you can omit the glaze and pipe lemon-flavored frosting on top instead (see top photo). Served in floret paper baking cups, they remind me of cupcakes!

Or, simply dust the plain cakes with powdered sugar to emphasize their fluted sides. And remember that a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a birthday candle turn these charming mini-cakes into a classic celebration dessert. Bon Appetit!

Ingredients

For the cakes:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
2/3 cup orange juice
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cooking oil

For the glaze:

1/2 cup orange juice
1-2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2-3 tablespoons orange liqueur (optional)

Directions

Bundt Cakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine well the flour, baking powder, baking soda, orange zest and poppy seeds in a mixing bowl. Combine juice, powdered sugar and oil in a second bowl and whisk together well. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients folding gently until they are well-blended with no lumps. Spoon the batter into each mini-bundt cake mould until they are 3/4 full. Bake bundt cakes in oven for 12 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the pan cool for 5 minutes. Invert the cakes onto a baker's rack and allow to cool completely before glazing.

Orange Glaze: Combine the orange juice, sugar, lemon juice and liqueur
(if desired) in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for about 3 minutes. Drizzle the hot glaze onto the cooled bundt cakes. Let them stand 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
