Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Orange Glaze

Drizzled with plenty of tangy orange glaze and packed with tons of cozy spices, this super-moist gingerbread bundt cake makes an impressive AND easy holiday dessert!

CAKE! Let them eat caaaaaake! Or more specifically…let me eat this gingerbread bundt cake every day til the day I die.

Friends, for a girl who was only just recently slightly petrified of cakes and anything that omg, involved me actually MAKING a cake, I have to say that I think I’ve made significant progress in conquering my cake-phobia.—this is cake number THREE in the space of only a few months.

And it’s a doozy. Seriously, the dooziest one yet.

We’re so going out of gingerbread season with a bang and that is this cake.

Sidenote: Am I the only one completely broken up about saying see ya next year to gingerbread, eggnog, cranberries, and COOKIES 24/7? Like, all the tears here, guys.

Just to clarify though, that last one that is cookies will probably still be hanging around and tempting/tormenting all of us all year.

But hey, that’s probably a little cookie foreshadow that 2016 is gonna ROCK!

Let’s try to focus now on making the remainder of 2015 amazing. And the only way you’re gonna do that is to make this gingerbread bundt cake. Seriously, it’s a dessert GAME-CHANGER. It makes it’s apple cousin look like child’s play. And obviously makes you look like a cake genius.

It’s literally the softest cake you’ll ever sink your teeth into. Jam-packed with cozy gingerbread spices. And it kinda just tastes like a big ‘ol piece of the holidays. 😉

Oh, OH! And citrus-y orange glaze. See exhibit B.

Oh, that glaze…I just want to hug it.

Guys, if a cake-phobic girl like me can make this gorgeous cake, ANYONE can. Trust me, it’s sooooo much easier than it looks, you won’t even believe it.

Promise me you’ll try it and promise that you’ll send me physical evidence in the form of MORE CAKE.

? ? That’s what real friends do. Cake soul-mates you and I! ??
