Mandarin Orange Mini Bundt Cakes Recipe:

Ingredients

Mini Cakes

  • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • 2/3 cups sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp mandarin orange zest about 3 medium fruits
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 + 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 + 1/2 tsp baking powder

Glaze

  • 4 tbsp confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tsp water
  • Oil from the peel of one mandarin orange
  • Confectioners' sugar to dust

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and butter a mini bundt cakes pan (or a regular cake pan).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter, and egg. Mix well until the mixture turns pale yellow.
  • Add milk, mandarin orange zest, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  • Incorporate flour and baking powder into the mixture. Mix thoroughly.
  • Transfer the batter into the buttered pan and bake for 15 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean when pierced into a cake). About 30 minutes for a regular cake pan.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pan before removing them.

To Make the Glaze:

  • In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar and water.
  • Peel one mandarin orange and squeeze 2-3 peel pieces several times over the small bowl to release its oils (the outside of the peel should face the sugar mixture).
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cakes and dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
