Any fan of “breakfast cake” should love this Morning Bundt Cake. Great with your first cup of coffee, but not a typical coffee cake, the batter is a mix of all your breakfast staples…except for bacon, I guess…you’ll have to serve that on the side. It has oranges (zest, juice and chopped segments), yogurt, muesli, nuts and dried fruit. I didn’t buy muesli to make this, but instead used some rolled oats, sunflower seeds and a bit of extra dried fruit and nuts. I chose toasted pecans, by the way, and prunes, since they seemed like a good choice for getting the morning going. I subbed about 1/3 of the AP flour with einkorn flour and combined my “muesli” with the yogurt a few hours ahead of time to soften it before mixing the batter (I had to adjust the mixing order slightly because of this, but it was a tip I got from IG bake-alonger Stef).

This is so good. It’s moist and quite hearty, with all those breakfast ingredients blended together. A citrus glaze that’s brushed on while the cake’s still hot is a nice final touch that makes the crust as special as what’s inside.

Beautiful photo…and that serving piece is such a nice compliment in the photo. We loved this cake, too. I’m going to make it over Thanksgiving as I think it will be perfect for people to help themselves in the morning…ready to go for the early risers and the late ones. Yours looks perfect.

So beautiful! I like the idea of softening the oats a bit beforehand as I did think mine could have used that. Didn’t seem to bother the people who loved it though haha! Maybe if I had added the missing bacon I could have won over the rest haha.
