ORANGE CAKE



Orange Cake image

This recipe yields 2 loaves or as my mom used to make it - one bundt cake. I find that it's not easy to remove the cake from the bundt pan because it's a very moist cake unless you butter and flour the pan well, so I prefer using a loaf pan and I think it looks beautiful. If you only want to make one loaf, you can halve the recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups (350g) all-purpose flour, sifted
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
1 cup (240 ml) canola or vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups (300 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
Orange zest from 3-4 oranges ((I use the same amount of oranges I use for the juice))
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease a 12-cup (10-inch) Bundt pan or two standard loaf pans (either 9 x 13 inch pans or 8½ x 4½ inch pans for taller cakes) and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a mixer bowl fitted with whisk attachment, whisk together eggs and sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. On low speed and with the mixer running, add oil slowly until combined. Add orange juice, zest, and vanilla extract and keep whisking slowly until combined. Add flour mixture and whisk just until combined. Don't overmix.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan/pans. Bake for 50-60 minutes for the bundt pan or 40-50 minutes for the loaves or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top is browning quickly while baking, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Allow cake/cakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Store cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For the best moist texture, the cake is best served at room temperature. This cake freezes well so if you make two loaves, cover well, and freeze one of them in the freezer for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the fridge

Categories     Desserts     Cakes

Time 3h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups sifted cake flour
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter, melted
⅓ cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
6 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 egg whites
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ cup white sugar
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Have ready an ungreased 10-inch tube pan with a removable bottom. Don't use a nonstick surface pan.
  • Sift the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Form a well in the center and add the melted butter, 1/3 cup orange juice, 1 teaspoon orange zest, egg yolks and vanilla. Beat for 1 to 2 minutes with an electric mixer.
  • In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain.
  • Pour batter into the ungreased tube pan. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, until the top springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Immediately invert and let the cake hang upside down until completely cool.
  • Turn right side up and run a sharp knife around the edge to separate the cake from the pan. Remove sides. Run a knife around the center tube and under the cake; remove the pan bottom. Turn the cake right side up on a serving plate.
  • To make the glaze: In a small bowl combine the confectioner's sugar, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and 2 teaspoons orange zest. Spread over the top of the cake, letting some drip down the sides. Let stand at room temperature until glaze has set, about one hour.
