Orange Bundt Cake with Almonds, Cinnamon and Cardamom

Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're making a wonderfully moist almond and orange bundt cake that fills your kitchen with an irresistible aroma of warming spices — and the best part is it's surprisingly easy. The key trick involves rubbing orange zest with sugar to unlock maximum flavor, then gently folding the wet and dry ingredients together to keep the crumb tender and delicate. It takes about an hour and a half from start to finish, with most of that time being hands-off baking.

Prepare the oven and pan

First, preheat the oven to 175 °C. Grease the bundt pan thoroughly with softened butter, then dust it with flour so the baked cake will turn out easily.

In a large bowl, combine the plain flour with ground almonds. Add the baking powder, a pinch of salt, ground cinnamon and cardamom. Mix this fragrant blend well so the spices are evenly distributed throughout.

Releasing the aroma

In a second bowl, pour the sugar and add the grated orange zest. Here's the trick: rub them together between your fingers until the sugar turns moist and releases an intense aroma. This draws out maximum flavor from the zest.

Finishing the batter

Add the prepared dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Now set the mixer aside and gently fold the batter together with a spatula or whisk. Don't overmix — just combine until the ingredients come together.

Baking the cake

Pour the finished batter into the prepared pan and place it in the oven. Bake for about 40 minutes. To check if it's done, insert a skewer into the center — if it comes out clean, you're done.

Resting and turning out

Don't rush after taking it out of the oven. Let the cake rest in the pan for about 10 minutes so it firms up. Only then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
