A tender and moist pound cake that is so cheerful thanks to a blood orange glaze, and the crunch of pistachios and candied ginger in the batter. This simple cake will get you through the greyest of winter days.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, tap on the counter to make sure it settles with no air pockets, and bake for about 50-55 minutes, or until a cake tester placed in the centre of the loaf comes out clean. The size of your pan will affect baking times. I often find I am baking this for a good 55-60 minutes. But start checking after 50 minutes. Don't be in a rush. The skewer should be clean.
If you would like to garnish with candied blood orange peels instead, follow the method found in my Lemon Mint Pound Cake recipe.
