How to Make White Chocolate Roasted Pecans Candied Orange Peel Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and the zest of 1 orange.
  5. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup sour cream and ¼ cup orange juice.
  6. Add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients to the butter mixture alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup white chocolate chips, ½ cup candied orange peel, and ½ cup roasted pecans.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: Melt 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate and 2 tablespoons orange juice in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  11. Stir in 1 cup powdered sugar and ½ teaspoon orange zest until smooth and pourable.
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
