Sunshine Glaze

Makes about 1 cup

•2 cups confectioners’ sugar
•1 teaspoon lemon zest
•1 teaspoon lime zest
•1 teaspoon orange zest
•1/4 cup fresh orange juice

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Set the rack in the middle of the oven. Generously grease a bundt pan with a nonstick spray, like Baker’s Joy®.

2. Prep the ingredients:

•Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, and set aside.

•Sift the flour and baking soda into a bowl. Add the zests, whisk to combine, and set aside.

•Measure the sour cream, fruit juices, and vanilla into a separate bowl, whisk to combine, and set aside.

3. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on low speed for 3 minutes.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl before adding dry ingredients.

5. Add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with the dry mixture.

6. Scrape the sides of the bowl and the area under the paddle to break up any clumps. Turn up the mixer to medium speed for about 20 seconds.

7. Pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan. Level it with a rubber spatula or by moving the pan back and forth.

8. Bake for 65 to 70 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

9. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert the pan, remove the cake, and let it cool on the wire rack.

10. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before glazing. (Tip: Place a piece of wax paper or parchment under the wire rack to catch dripping glaze.)

For the Sunshine Glaze:

1. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth.

2. Apply the glaze by spooning or pouring it on when the cake has reached room temperature.
