Citrus Bundt Cake
Ingredients:
1 c butter, softened
1/2 c shortening
3 c granulated sugar
6 eggs*
3 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1 c milk
4 tsp orange zest, divided
2 tsp lemon zest, divided
1/4 c fresh lemon juice
2 c powdered sugar
2 to 3 T fresh orange juice
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat butter and shortening at medium speed until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Add to butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed until blended after each addition. Stir in 2 tsp orange zest, 1 tsp lemon zest and 1/4 c fresh lemon juice. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10 inch Bundt pan. (I used 3 smaller Bundt pans.)
Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 5 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely before glazing. (For my 3 smaller pans, I baked a total of 55 minutes.) Start watching the cake(s) at the minimum time suggested as every oven cooks differently.
For Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, orange juice and remaining 2 tsp orange zest and 1 tsp lemon zest until smooth. Spoon over cake(s).
*Did you know? when a recipe call for eggs, it always refers to using large eggs. If you have small or extra-large eggs, you will need to adjust the amount you use.

Visiting from farm girl blog fest
haha, love your son's comment!
these look yummy – I think I need to schedule a baking day with my boys. I completely understand about cooking with multiple kids – it can be very nerve wracking! I made the mistake once of deciding to teach all three of my sons to crack eggs at the same time!
YUM YUM ~ Glad to see you Paula! These look amazing!
