Hello everyone! I’m Emma and I blog over at Crafting{E}. Let me start out by saying that I am NOT a cake person. To be completely honest I would rather have a lot go things instead of cake. However, this delicious bundt cake is definitely one of the exceptions. Where I live, it gets SUPER hot in the summer (think 115 degrees) and because of this I CRAVE refreshing things in the summer.
This bundt cake is delicious, refreshing, and pretty easy to make. The cake itself is extremely moist has a great orange flavor. I seriously would take the cake by itself (without the frosting). The cake is JUST that good!
Even though the cake is great by itself, you can’t forget to put on this delicious orange cream cheese frosting. There’s just something about the refreshing orange cake flavor mixed with the rich cream cheese frosting that is just so delicious.
Also, instead of using a big bundt cake pan, I made tiny individual bundt cakes.
Aren’t they so adorable and tiny?! I love them!

Does this cake need to be refrigerated if made the day ahead?
Hi Traci!
The cake DOES need to be refrigerated because the frosting has dairy in it.
