Welcome to the magical world of baking, where the classic Bundt cake becomes an oriental dream! My Middle Eastern Style Bundt cake takes you into the Arabian Nights with exotic flavors and enchanting aromas. For my Middle Eastern Bundt cake, you need soft butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, flour, and baking powder. To create that oriental flair, add cardamom and rose water to the batter.

Your kitchen will be filled with a mix of spices and floral fragrances, giving it the aroma of an oriental fairy tale. A delightful buttercream infused with rose water covers the bundt cake, adorned with crushed pistachios and rose petals. This ensures the cake stays moist and tastes absolutely delicious. My oriental bundt cake is not just visually stunning; it’s also a genuine taste adventure. It’s sure to be a showstopper on your dessert table!

INGREDIENTS FOR BUNDT CAKE

125 g butter, room temperature*

150 g caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract*

2 large eggs, room temperature

100 ml milk

2 tbsp rose water*

280 g flour type 405*

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp cardamom*, ground

A pinch of salt

INGREDIENTS ROSE-HONEY-BUTTERCREAM

125 g butter, room temperature*

125 g caster sugar

3 tbsp honey*

4 tbsp rose water*

INGREDIENTS TOPPING

100 g pistachios*

15 dried rosebuds* (optional)

PREPARATION BUNDT CAKE

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Allow all ingredients to reach room temperature half an hour before baking. This allows the butter and eggs to combine more easily.

Beat the butter until creamy, and gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until well combined. Use a cake spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.

Stir in the milk and rose water.

Grease the Bundt cake mold with butter and dust it with flour.

Spoon the batter into the Bundt cake mold and tap it a few times on the worktop to avoid air bubbles in the batter.

Bake for about 40-45 minutes. Test with a skewer; if it comes out clean, then the cake is perfectly baked.

Allow it to cool in the mold for 10 minutes. Flip the Bundt cake out of the mold and let it cool on a cake rack.

PREPARATION ROSE-HONEY BUTTERCREAM

Beat the butter until it is light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and mix in. Now add the honey in two batches and mix well. At the end add the rose water in tablespoons and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

PREPARATION TOPPING

Coat the chilled Bundt cake with buttercream from all sides. Finely grind the pistachios in a food chopper and sprinkle them over the Bundt cake.

Set aside twelve rosebuds and finely grind the rest, then sprinkle them over the Bundt cake. Decorate the Middle Eastern Bundt cake with the whole rosebuds.

BEFARMAYID!
