Bundt cake of blood oranges. Glaze cake

This bundt cake of blood oranges was quite a surprise when I did it for the first time. One of my aunts had just be operated a few days before an arm and was slightly low mood. As I came out of the trip the next day, did not want to leave to visit her home as given the high, and thus see it before I go (we are very tight in my family, we are over each other and we love). And of course it would not go with empty hands.

At this time I love blood oranges. Found them when living in Madrid (there is in all the market stalls when it comes the season), and it seemed fun to use them because even though their flavour is that of a lifelong Orange, color of juice is different, and appears to be more of the grapefruit to to the of the Orange. So always buy some in season (here in Malaga custom made them and have them without problem).

I had never used blood oranges to make a glaze for that had never seen the pink color that gives sugar cream. I saw it to Edd Kimber, one of my pastry chef favorite even though his was covered with fruit wedges and sliced almonds.

I decided to modify some quantities and add a touch, and of course to do it in a bundt cake because they are so beautiful! and thus take it to my aunt that I sure would like to for your first breakfast out of the hospital. And said done. A rich bundt cake of oranges, happy breakfast in house and Baba loved her and the rest of your home (especially to my cousin Merry who is pregnant and craving for constant cake, so I'll soon take you another). I hope like you as much as to her.
