Glazed Tangerine Donut Cake #TheCakeSliceBakers

New Years Resolutions- smezulutions. I’m gonna eat me a Donut Cake!

It’s a new year and a new recipe book for the Cake Slice Bakers. For 2024, we’re baking out of Rebecca Firth’s “The Cake Book.” And I can already tell it’s going to be a good one!

Check out the links at the end of this post to see what the other lovely bakers chose!

This cake is just what you’d want from something called a “Tangerine Glazed Donut Cake.”

A tender, moist crumb.

Hint of bright citrus flavor.

Easy to make.

Looks super cute.

It actually reminds me of an amazing snack cake that my mother-in-law makes. And it could provide the perfect canvas to mix it up when it comes to flavor.

A chocolate glazed donut cake?

Strawberry cream cheese?

Cinnamon swirl?

Yes please. To all of them.

In the recipe, the cake is glazed with a slightly transparent blend of tangerine juice and powdered sugar. I decided to glaze it per directions (Rebecca Firth says that’s the key to locking in moisture so that it lasts several days).

To make it look more donutty, I added a couple tablespoons of powdered sugar to the excess glaze, a tiiiiny drop of pink food color, and a little white food color to make it more opaque.

And sprinkles. Can’t forget the sprinkles.

So give this Tangerine Glazed Donut Cake a try! I’m excited to see what other recipe treasures “The Cake Book” holds!

Each month The Cake Slice Bakers are offered a selection of cakes from the current book we are baking through. This year it is The Cake Book: Beautiful Sweet Treats for Every Craving by Rebecca Firth. We each choose one cake to bake, and then on the 20th - never before - we all post about our cake on our blogs. There are a few rules that we follow, but the most important ones are to have fun and enjoy baking & eating cakes!
