Orange Bundt Cake with Nutella^®

HOW TO MAKE ORANGE CHRISTMAS BUNDT CAKE

1. 

   STEP 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F) and position the baking rack in the middle of the oven. Generously butter and flour a 2 litre “bundt cake” mold. In a big bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until very light and fluffy.

2. 

   STEP 2

   Grate the zest of the oranges and the lemon and press the juice of 1 orange (80ml) and half a lemon (30ml). Transfer the zest and juice into another bowl and mix with the yoghurt and the melted butter. Set this bowl aside.

3. 

   STEP 3

   Mix the juice and yoghurt mixture with the egg mixture.

4. 

   STEP 4

   Separately, sift together the flour with the ground almonds, the baking powder, and the salt. Then, gently fold the juice, yoghurt, and egg mixture with the flour mixture, until no lumps remain. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 30-35 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean). Let it cool down completely and remove the cake from the mold, moving it onto a plate.

   STEP 5

   Cut the bundt cake lengthwise so it you have a top and a bottom half and spread 100g of Nutella^® in between. Meanwhile, pour the remaining Nutella^® into a small bowl, set over a pan of simmering water, leave it to soften for about 5 minutes and drizzle it on top of the cake. Decorate with strips of candied orange peel and enjoy!
