I went back and forth on what Golden Blossom Honey recipe I should share with you this week. Should I do another grilling type post for the upcoming July 4th holiday, or maybe do a fruit pie? I kept waffling between some of the recipes I've saved from their site, but for some reason kept coming back to this Orange-Rosemary Bundt Cake recipe.
It's been really hot here this week and the thought of using the oven wasn't high on my list, but I did have some rosemary that was growing out of control and some oranges that needed to be put to use, so what the heck. I threw caution to the wind, cranked up the oven, and went to town whipping the ingredients together to create this beautiful cake.
I don't know what it is about bundt cakes, but I always find them irresistible. They are so good for an afternoon treat paired with a cup of tea or coffee and a little side of fruit. If your area is relaxing the social distancing guidelines, this would be a great recipe to have on hand for any get-togethers you may have planned for this summer. Save it for the 4th, or if the kids get to go back to school this August, as a special treat for enduring this extra long summer cooped up with them LOL.

What's your favorite flavor for bundt cakes?
My husband loves citrus cakes, definitely something for him! Looks yum!☺
ReplyDeleteI usually gravitate towards lemon if I want a citrus cake, so I was pleasantly surprised with this one!
DeleteIt's a yes for oranges from me, a no for rosemary LOL The glaze must be very delish with orange in it!
ReplyDeleteI went to Novi Sad yesterday to my publishers (our bus broke in a middle of a scorching hot corn field and we had to wait there for hour an a half for another bus to come and rescue us) and I finally found a frosted glass tea mug :) I wanted to buy you one too, but they are quite heavy and I know you said you only like them light.
It reminded me of cakes you get in London with the added rosemary. Not something I ever would have thought to do on my own, but it did taste like a posh dessert.
DeleteYikes to getting stranded in the heat. That must have been hell for you! I know how you melt in the sun.
Hurray for your beautiful frosted mug. It looks like something I might have come across one day at Pier 1, but now that they are closed I need to find a new home goods store.
It is so sad that it closed, we have a few factories that closed in my city during corona, most with owners from Italy, who just runaway and left workers without pay and future. The only good thing in this all shit is that my publisher actually had good online sales during corona, so there might be more work... at least I hope so.
DeleteHurray for good online sales. Jason said his online sales skyrocketed during the quarantine too. I suppose everyone had nothing better to do than online shop during this mess. Fingers crossed you have lots of new works lined up for the rest of the year!

Thank you! Yes, that waterfall was amazing. There's another one I'll feature later that we came upon that people had their tents lined up along. I bet they slept like babies listening to the sounds of falls that night!
DeleteYum.
ReplyDeleteFor sure!
DeleteI do love a Bundt cake! I have never used cake flour before or rosemary in a dessert.
ReplyDeleteCake flour is something that I am just now learning to use. I have to say, I rather like it!
DeleteQue bonito que te quedo :-))))
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI giggle every time I read or say "bundt cake" because of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. How can you say the word without mentally saying "It's a cake!" in a Greek accent. LOL This does look yummy. :)
ReplyDeleteI always say "Why does this cake have a hole in it!?" LOL. I love that movie!
DeleteLOL That movie forever ruined bundt cakes.. or at least the word.
DeleteYou did such a great job with presentation. That's one gorgeous cake. It looks and sounds good to me. I am pinning it to my cake board.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Rosey! It is one of my favorites I've photoed so far ♥
DeleteWith the orange it sounds great. :)

It really is. I love citrus in baked goods.
DeleteThat sounds really tasty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary!
DeleteLooks like throwing caution to the wind sure turned out grand.
ReplyDeleteGrand, indeed!
DeleteUsually I also eat sponge cake as a friend to drink coffee. This orange cake recipe menu is also suitable for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recipe,Theresa.
I'd pair it with tea, but yea, it would be great with coffee too!
DeleteThis cake looks wonderful Theresa and I love bundt cakes, take care my dear friend!"!!
ReplyDeleteThank you gloria!
DeleteRosemary and honey. Super interesting. I've not had that combo before.
ReplyDeleteIt is and I almost skipped over the recipe because it seemed a little out of my realm. But, I'm glad I made it. It was actually not bad!
DeleteLove this kind of Bundt cake they are delicious.
ReplyDeleteThe omelette quesadilla was so good.
I really recommend.
Olga.
Looks like another winner, Theresa. What an interesting combination of flavors!
