ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups white flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange zest
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C and spray a bundt pan generously with nonstick spray.

  • Step 2

    Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Combine sugar and orange zest in a food processor and pulse for 1 minute until the zest is finely ground. Combine orange sugar with butter in a large mixer bowl and beat on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time.

  • Step 3

    Combine buttermilk, orange juice, and vanilla in a small bowl. Beat in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with buttermilk mixture (begin and end with flour mixture), just until incorporated.

  • Step 4

    Spoon batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Tap the pan sharply to reduce air bubbles.

  • Step 5

    Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the cake, is golden, and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes; carefully invert onto rack and cool completely.

  • Step 6

    Place powdered sugar, mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of milk in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle and blend until smooth and creamy, adding more milk if necessary, 1 teaspoon at a time; the frosting should be thick yet thin enough to slightly drizzle down the side of the cake

  • Step 7

    Sprinkle powdered sugar over the cake and immediately pour the glaze over it. Decorate with gooseberries and serve.
