ORANGE-PECAN PASSOVER BUNDT CAKE
This moist cake has an delicious citrus flavour and an excellent texture. It's from "Bon Appétit" (April 1992). It keeps very well- up to a week or more! The recipe also works very well with toasted Passover macaroons. Toast them in the oven at 250F until completely dry and then process them into coarse crumbs. If you do not have a large food processer you may need to process the mandle cuts (or other cookies) and then add the sugar and the nuts. Use a nonstick pan and don't overbake. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover cake tightly and store at room temperature.)
