Before I actually had my first slice of a Madeira cake, I always thought this kind of cake had its origin on the island of Madeira and that it was flavored with Madeira wine… I mean, come on – that would make sense, right?! No, it doesn’t. But it does not change the fact that this Madeira Bundt Cake is super delicious. That is proven! :P

Sometimes names can be misleading. The Madeira cake is the best example. I really thought for a very long time that this would be Madeira’s national treasure of baking! Well, you can have a slice of Madeira cake on the island, but its origin is actually Great Britain. Not surprised though, because it looks like a typical tea cake, but in my head, it was always something from that beautiful Portuguese island in the middle of nowhere. The cake does not look spectacular normally (even though mine does I think).

Just kidding. Most of the time they look like good old pound cakes, sometimes with a glaze, the majority have nothing on top. Boring to be honest. But the flavors…! So good! If you make it right, it’s a moist and delicious cake with a great texture and great orange flavor. Really good!

I decided to make my cake in a bundt cake pan. I found that super cute bundt pan from Nordic Ware (it’s called Brilliance*) some time ago and thought this would be perfect for my Madeira cake… or any kind of cake for that matter. Love the shape of the cakes when baked.

As I mentioned already – no Madeira wine in a Madeira cake. Instead, it is made with olive oil and a good amount of orange juice and orange zest to give it that super nice flavor. In case you want to make it – use organic oranges so you do not have to worry about anything on top of the oranges. The Madeira wine is served with the cake…

I thought about adding it to the cake on several occasions but never actually did it. Maybe I should try next time. A little shot of wine can’t hurt, right? ;)

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F). Grease the bundt cake tin* with some butter and dust with some flour. Set aside.

2. Add the olive oil, eggs, orange zest, juice, sour cream, and sugar to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Mix the flour with baking powder and salt and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for about 60 minutes – check with a wooden skewer and remove the cake from the oven if the skewer comes out clean. Let cool down in the tin for about 10-15 minutes, then remove it carefully and let it cool down completely on a wire rack.

3. For the glaze, mix the confectioners’ sugar with vanilla extract and the heavy cream – start with one tablespoon of heavy cream and add more if needed. The glaze should not be too runny. Glaze the cooled cake and let dry a bit. Decorate with orange slices (optional) and serve.

1. Den Ofen auf 160°C (325°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Eine große Gugelhupfform* einfetten und mit Mehl ausstauben. Zur Seite stellen.

2. Das Öl mit den Eiern, Orangenschale, Orangensaft, Schmand und Zucker in eine große Schüssel geben und so lange verrühren, bis sich alles gut verbunden hat. Das Mehl mit dem Backpulver und Salz vermischen und dann zur Schüssel dazugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Den Teig in die vorbereitete Form füllen und dann für etwa etwa 60 Minuten backen. Mit einem Holzspieß testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt, und erst aus dem Ofen holen, wenn er sauber herauskommt. Den Gugelhupf dann aus dem Ofen holen und für etwa 10-15 Minuten in der Form abkühlen lassen. Vorsichtig aus der Form lösen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

3. Für die Glasur den Puderzucker mit Vanille Extrakt und der Sahne nach und nach verrühren. Nur so viel Sahne dazugeben, bis eine dickflüssige Masse entsteht. Den Gugelhupf damit beträufeln und dann etwas etwas antrocknen lassen. Vor dem Servieren noch mit ein paar Orangenscheiben dekorieren (optional).
