This week I went to lunch in Rancho Santa Fe at an adorable cafe named Thyme. Thyme specializes in fresh salads, soups, and other light fare. The thing that got me most excited was their bakery. They have a beautiful bakers rack filled with gorgeous homemade delights just like your Grandma would make. The bakers rack was filled with rustic pies, and cakes. One cake that caught my eye was an Orange Bundt Cake. I have an orange tree so I was inspired to come home and try to make it.
I went to the internet in search of a recipe, and discovered one from all recipes.com that I altered a bit. Here it is.
Ingredients
1 cup of butter,softened
2 cups of sugar
4 eggs
3 teaspoons of fresh grated orange rind
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 cups of flour
3 teaspoons of baking powder
1 cup of milk
Glaze
1 cup of confectioners sugar
4 teaspoons of fresh squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon of fresh grated orange rind
Directions
1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy; beat in eggs, orange peel, and vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk.
2. Pour into greased and floured pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing. Finish with glaze.
I have a client in Ranch Santa Fe this afternoon, if I have time I will try and go to Thyme to see whats left on their bakers rack. I will post the pictures this weekend. Has anything inspired you to go home and try to recreate a recipe of something you have seen?
