Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake

April 12, 2019 By Patricia 76 Comments

Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake is spectacularly scrumptious. There’s something about a Bundt cake that is just so lovely. They always turn out moist and they’re easy to make, too. I think you’ll love this one. Try it soon!

Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake is so nice for any occasion. You'll love Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake as a special dessert.

I was thrilled with how this cake turned out! The hints of citrus are bright and cheerful, and it looks like something wonderful to welcome the spring season to town. Each bite of this cake is studded with pistachios — good news if you love pistachios. 

I originally posted this recipe back in 2017, and love it so much that I wanted to share it again!

I hate to admit it, but my husband and I could take down this cake faster than… well, something really fast! I could barely wait to slice into the first piece.

Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake is lovely for Easter. Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake makes a special treat.

After I made this, we did what we normally do and trotted over to a neighbor’s house with a hefty portion of the cake. When we offered the cake, our neighbor said, “Oh. I don’t really eat cake — except Monday through Sunday.”

I was a bit worried at first (gullible me). I thought my husband and I would be forced to eat the ENTIRE cake ourselves. How disappointing…not!

When you make this cake, you can use my homemade Orange Marmalade recipe, or you can use prepared marmalade from the store for a bit more convenience.

Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake

This Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake is the perfect Easter dessert — showstopper! — as are these Coconut-Lime White Chocolate Chip Cookies. This Bundt cake a lovely treat to serve for any special occasion. Not only are the colors and flavor bright, but with six eggs and all the buttah, it’s quite decadent, too.

Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake is a delight to serve for Easter. Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake make a special dessert anytime.

If you like your cakes with a hint of orange, you’ll love my mini blood orange scented chocolate-ricotta cakes. They’re delicious, and oh-so adorable!

Another citrus-inspired treat that shows up in my home, especially around the holidays, are these Orange-Amaretto Pizzelle Cookies. I love them!

Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake is so pretty, and perfect for any spring holiday or occasion. You'll adore this festive Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake.

Keep in mind that this cake isn’t one of those, “Oh, I’ll just whip up a cake” cakes. For sure it’s easy to make, but it takes a bit of time and some extra ingredients: it takes about an hour to bake and at least 30 minutes to cool, and the standard cake ingredients are upped in quantity a bit.

Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake is a show-stopping dessert! You'll love how pretty and delicious this Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake is!

I adapted a King Arthur Flour cake recipe and made this cake my own. I think the orange and pistachios, and thick glaze make the perfect pairing for a special cake like this.

Let me know if you make an Orange Marmalade-Pistachio Bundt Cake for your family or friends. I’d love to hear what you think!

Ingredients

    For the cake
  • 1-1/2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature, plus 1 tablespoon, melted
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons, reserved
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons pure orange extract
  • 3/4 cup orange marmalade
  • 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • For the glaze
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon pure orange extract
  • 2 tablespoons pistachios, chopped
  • Optional: candied orange slices

Instructions

    For the cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Add the 1-1/2 cups butter to a stand mixer or use a handheld mixer, and blend for a few minutes. Scrape the butter from the sides of the bowl and add the sugar, a little at a time, until incorporated.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until incorporated.
  4. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl and whisk to combine. Add one cup of the flour mixture, and blend until incorporated. Add half the milk and the orange extract, mix for a minute, and add another cup of flour. Mix until incorporated, and add the remaining milk. Add the remaining flour and mix until incorporated. Stop the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  5. Remove the bowl from the stand and fold in the marmalade to combine. Stir in the pistachios.
  6. Brush a 10-15-cup Bundt cake pan with the melted butter. Add the 2 tablespoons of flour to the pan and tilt the pan all around so the flour coats the pan.
  7. Evenly spread the cake batter into the pan and smooth the top of it. Tap the pan on the counter a few times.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until golden, and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. If the cake begins to brown before it’s finished cooking, add a piece of aluminum foil over the top.
  9. Remove from the oven and turn the pan over onto a wire rack. Wait about 10 minutes, then gently remove the pan.
  10. Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the glaze.
  11. Drizzle with the glaze and garnish with the pistachios and candied orange if using.
  12. For the glaze
  13. Add the confections' sugar to a bowl with half the heavy cream and orange extract. Whisk to combine.
  14. Add the remaining heavy cream and continue to whisk until smooth. Add more cream to thin the glaze, or more confectioners' sugar to thicken it, to your liking.
  15. When the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top, along with the candied orange slices if using.

    This looks so delicious! I've always wanted to bake a bundt cake but frankly I'm terrified it will get stuck (blame so many failed cakes!). I'd love to try this one though...looks so moist and perfect for spring! So maybe it's time I finally bake one! :)

      Oh my gosh, Jolina! My first cake was a disaster b/c I had refused to give up my scratched up, banged up Bundt cake pan! My advice would be to invest in a quality pan! Also, be sure to use butter to coat it and add flour to the pan, too! Thanks for your kind words! Hope it works out well!

    I've never tasted such a cake but I imagine the pistachios would bring a pleasant crunch to a moist tangy cake. I may just try the recipe and bring it to Easter dinner with the family.

    Okay, could just be my eyes, but I'm a bit confused by the recipe & instructions: Recipe calls for 3/4 cup milk... Step #4: says to add 1 cup milk. Then a couple lines down it says to add more milk. It would be nice to know the right amount of milk for a beautiful result:) Thanks much!!!

      Hi Ann - My mistake Someone else caught this, too. I've fixed the recipe, so it should be good now. It requires 3/4 cup milk. Step #4 should be add half the milk....then the remaining milk, as written. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

    Reply
    • Patricia says

      April 1, 2017 at 3:52 am

      Sorry Amy - my mistake! The quantity is 3/4 cup milk that you need. Add half for the first addition, and the remaining for the second addition.

    I made this cake for our adult Sunday School class on Easter Sunday! What a hit! EVERYONE loved it, but I thought it was just a little dry and not quite orangey enough. Is there a high altitude adjustment I need to make? I think the next time, I'm going to add Triple Sec, along with the orange extract, to the cake and to the glaze! I'm always my own worst critic when it comes to baking!

      Hi Gayle - thanks so much for your comment! I'm so glad your class loved it! Hmmm....regarding high altitude adjustment, I'm just not sure. I don't know enough to help you there. But I did find this reference on the King Arthur Flour site that may be of help: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/learn/high-altitude-baking.html Maybe check it out and do a little testing (which is a built-in excuse for another cake in the name of research!). I can say that when I made it, it really was quite moist, so I think you're on to something. I think adding a bit of Triple Sec would definitely make things "orange-ier!"
