This Citrus Delight Bundt Cake is a refreshing and moist dessert, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a tube cake pan by greasing it and dusting with flour.
Ensure the pan is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and flour.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Add the sour cream and eggs to the bowl and mix on low speed until combined.
Mix just until the ingredients are incorporated to avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the mandarin oranges until evenly distributed.
Be gentle to avoid breaking the orange segments.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the cake at 45 minutes to prevent overbaking.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Cooling in the pan helps the cake set and makes it easier to remove.
In a small bowl, mix the confectioners' sugar and orange juice until smooth.
Adjust the consistency by adding more sugar or juice as needed.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before serving.
Use a spoon or piping bag for a neat drizzle.
