I absolutely love orange flavored desserts. And let’s face it, making anything miniature really ups the cuteness factor, right? These mini orange bundt cakes are an amazing combination of cuteness and flavor. So mix up your dessert tonight and try something new! And with no refined sugar, your body will also love this treat!

Citrus desserts are perfect for dreary winter days

Citrus flavored desserts just might be my favorite. Especially in the winter time. It must be my body’s way of avoiding Seasonal Affective Disorder… or scurvy. We all go a little bit nuts with the snow everywhere and all that time spent indoors, right?

This recipe was a labor of love and went through many tests and revisions. I’m learning to become comfortable figuring out how to substitute natural sugars for refined sugar and truthfully I think it often tastes better. Because the sugar is still in a natural state, our bodies digest it slower and we don’t have spikes and crashes. So these little orange bundt cakes have become my favorite afternoon treat, and they will be yours too!

Honey Orange Bundt Cake | No Refined Sugar

No refined sugar and lots of orange flavor

The smell while these orange bundt’s are baking is phenomenal. So light, fluffy and so orange-y. I really like these because you can really TASTE the orange. And when it’s cold outside, that citrus taste is just heaven. I think my body wants that fresh tasting afternoon treat to go with my tea. Since these cakes use just honey or agave as sweetener, you can eat a whole little cake and still feel great!

Butter and flour your mini bundt pan really well!

Be sure to butter and flour your pan really well. It’s never easy to get cake out of a bundt pan, so do yourself a favor and prep your pan! This recipe makes 6 little orange bundt cakes. I’m working on recipe conversion to make one large bundt cake, too! I absolutely LOVE my mini bundt pan made by Nordic Ware.

Orange Bundt Cake

Full of flavor and oh so moist.
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time25 mins
Total Time35 mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 6 Servings
Author: Amy

Ingredients

  • 1/2 C Orange juice fresh is best
  • 1/4 C Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 C Honey or agave
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp Orange zest
  • 1 1/2 C Flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 C Coconut sugar optional

Icing

  • 1 C Powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Orange juice
  • 1 Tbsp Orange zest optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  • Grease (with butter or oil) and flour your mini bundt pan or 1 large bundt pan very well, careful to get into all the crevices. 
  • Combine orange juice, vegetable oil, eggs, honey, vanilla extract and orange zest in a large bowl. Stir until combined.
  • Add the flour, baking soda and sugar to the wet mixture and mix just until combined.
  • Pour cakes evenly into pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they spring back when touched. 
  • Let cakes cool in pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove and place on cooling rack. You may have to run a knife down the edges carefully to loosen. 

Icing

  • Sift powdered sugar in a small bowl. Stir in orange juice until you have a smooth syrup. 
  • Pour icing evenly over cake(s) and top with more orange zest.

Notes

If you’re using 1 large bundt pan, just double the recipe and increase baking time to 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    This sounds delicious! I’ve always wanted to make an orange cake, can’t wait to try this! If the coconut sugar is optional, can it be omitted entirely, or should it be replaced by granulated sugar?

      Great question! It can be omitted entirely. It’s sweet enough without it, but if you like it really sweet, the coconut sugar is just the right touch.
