Orange bundt cakes are knowns for their sweet and citrus taste. They are loved by the young and the old equally.

This bundt cake recipe is close to my heart. It was the very first recipe my mother taught me long before I became gluten-intolerant. Every spring, she would make about three orange bundt cakes and send them to her brothers and sisters. If you would ask our friends and family, they will tell you that nothing beats my mother's orange bundt cake.


The recipe for gluten-free orange bundt cake that I'm sharing with you today is an adaptation of my mum's recipe. I have altered many ingredients and changed the ratios to achieve the fluffy, light, and moist texture that bundt cakes are known for.

This orange bundt cake recipe tastes good without any glaze. However, if you want to take this recipe to the next level, then I definitely recommend adding the orange cream cheese frosting.

    I would like to try the orange Bundt cake. What are the conversions from grams to U.S. measurements?

    thanks….

      Bob, invest in a small scale. I find now that a lot of recipes use grams, etc. My daughter got me a small scale and I love not having to stop to convert all the time. It's worth the price and scales come in all price ranges. Good investment

    I’d love to try this but I always used 1- 1 gf flour. I don’t have all those flours you use. What would be the ratio with just the one flour

    • Science and Crumbs Science and Crumbs on Nov 08, 2021

      You can try and use 320 grams of 1-1 GF flour, which is around 2 1/2 cups. Make sure to sift the flour though for better results.
