I received this recipe from a friend of my mom’s. The word on the street was that this bundt cake was devoured within hours of it being prepared but when I read the recipe I was not convinced. It seemed so basic.

shared-sugar-spiced-bundt-cake-2 By request of my mom, I made it for a family gathering. I was nervous about the outcome but didn’t taste it before sharing it with my family as to not ruin the beautiful shape of the cake. Little did I know, I had nothing to worry about.

shared-sugar-spiced-bundt-cake-1 I served it warm so the Orange Butter would melt into the cake. It was love at first bite. Unbelievable. It was so delicious. I wanted to have it for every meal. This is a great example of how the right combination of ingredients can still steal the show. This recipe will be in my baking archive for decades. Can’t beat simple pleasures like this.

  • 3-1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3 cups sugar

  • zest of one orange
  • 1/4 cup orange juice concentrate, at room temperature
  • 1-1/4 cups powdered sugar

  • Directions

    • make the bundt cake

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour the bundt pan. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and fill the well with the remaining ingredients. Using a whisk, mix thoroughly. Pour the batter into the bundt pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Use a toothpick to check if the cake is done. Try and remove the cake from the oven right before the toothpick comes out clean. The top of the cake should be golden brown. Let the cake cool slightly. Then turn the cake out onto a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar.

    make the orange butter

    Using a mixer, beat the butter and orange zest until smooth. Then add the orange juice concentrate and beat until combined. Add the powdered sugar in increments and beat until smooth. Add more or less powdered sugar to taste. Serve in a bowl to spread on warm bundt cake.

Along with some beautifully wrapped presents, he also brought some yummy Orange Marmalade Rolls. Mrs. Clause must have been busy! I am enjoying the rolls this morning with some coffee waiting for the Officer to wake so we can see what is in those presents. Bosco, my dog, enjoyed a bit too as he snatched it off my plate while I was in the kitchen. Oh well, it is Christmas!

OrangeRolls2The Orange Marmalade Rolls are perfect during the holidays. When I saw them on The Pioneer Woman’s site, I just couldn’t resist. There are a couple of people in my family that love orange and so these were the perfect breakfast while some of them were here for a visit this week. They are delectable and super moist. The rind in orange marmalade adds a really great texture. Next time I might add pecan pieces when I spread on the marmalade although they are fantastic just how they are. These are probably the most moist rolls I have made. If you still have guests in this weekend, or even if you don’t, these rolls are worth the effort. They received high praises from all that indulged. Merry Christmas to you! I hope you have a moment to relax and enjoy this wonderful day!

    Orange Marmalade Rolls

  • Ingredients

    rolls
  • 1 quart whole milk
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 packages active dry yeast
  • 9 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 tablespoon salt
  • 16 tablespoons sweet orange marmalade
  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • glaze
  • 2 pounds powdered sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • dash of salt


  • Directions

    • make the rolls

    Mix the milk, vegetable oil and sugar in a saucepan over medium to high heat. Heat until just before boiling. Remove from heat and let cool for 1 hour until the mixture is warm. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the active dry yeast and let it sit for a few minutes. In increments, mix in 8 cups of flour. Cover and let the dough rise for 1 hour.

    Mix 1 cup of flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix with risen dough. If desired, cover dough and refrigerate until you are ready to make the rolls.

    Butter two 9-inch pans. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

    Divide the dough in two. On a large, floured surface, begin to roll out half the dough in a long rectangle. Dough should be rolled out about 1/4 inch thick. Then, leaving about 1/2 inch on the edge, spread half of the marmalade on the dough. Using a brush, add half the butter. Then sprinkle the dough with half the brown sugar. You could also add pecan pieces at this point.

    Begin to roll the dough toward you on the long side in a long cylinder shape. Roll tightly, tucking the dough as you go. Once the dough is rolled, cut it in rolls about 1-inch thick. Place in a buttered pan leaving room for the rolls to expand. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Let the rolls rise for 30 minutes. Sometimes I put them under a lamp to help them along. Bake the rolls for 20-24 minutes until they are golden.

    make the glaze

    Make the glaze by mixing all of the ingredients. The glaze won’t have a strong orange flavor but it will be a bit sweet.

    Once the rolls are done baking. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes. Then add the glaze to the tops of the rolls.
