A delightfully moist bundt cake recipe made with sweet blood oranges and raspberries. A simple show-stopping cake for any party!

Raspberry and Blood Orange Bundt Cake

Are you familiar with blood oranges? I never really had them growing up, and now that I have, I feel so deprived! These oranges are so juicy and delicious! My neighbor down the street has a tree in his backyard and he sells them for 3 for a $1. I’ll take that deal any day! I bought 6 and then went back to buy some more because they were so delicious just to eat by themselves. I did eventually muster up some self-control so I could make this pretty cake.

What Are Blood Oranges?

The blood orange is a type of orange that develops a raspberry color flesh instead of the typical orange color. Its peculiar color comes from the presence of anthocyanins which provides an abundance of antioxidants. These blood orange benefits include anti-inflammatory properties to reduce the risk of cancer, bacterial infections, and diabetes. It also helps defend blood vessels losing oxygen and decreases LDL levels of cholesterol.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. You will want your butter to be room temperature or softened but not completed melted. I prefer to use unsalted butter as well. Add in blood orange zest and cream together till fluffy.

Next, add in eggs one at time combining completely. Add in vanilla ( I love this one!) and blood orange juice.

Alternate combining dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.

Mix in plain greek yogurt or sour cream. At this point your cake batter will be thick. Last, fold in raspberries.

I love to take this cake to parties or just having it for breakfast. I mean, who doesn’t love cake for breakfast?! This blood orange cake pairs very well with a mimosa 🙂 But if you have any blood oranges leftover, a nice blood orange mimosa would be a fabulous way to start brunch!
