How to Make Orange Carrot Bundt Cake

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt or tube pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the orange rind and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the grated carrots.
Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and smooth the top.
Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
**Make the glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together the icing sugar and orange juice until smooth. Adjust the amount of orange juice to achieve your desired consistency.
Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Garnish with chocolate curls and candied orange rind (optional) and serve.
