Number Of Ingredients 13

CAKE:
1 1/4 cup sifted, all purpose flour
2 teaspoons double acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Zest of 1 orange
GLAZE:
1/3 cup orange juice (without pulp)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Adjust the rack 1/3 up from the bottom of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter a 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.75-inch loaf pan (about 6 cup capacity) and then dust it with fine, dry bread crumbs. Shake out the excess and set aside. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa and sugar and set aside. Beat the cream and vanilla in an electric mixer until it holds soft peaks, On low speed add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl and only beating until the egg is incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients scraping down the bowl and beating only until just smooth. Remove from the mixer and stir in the grated rind. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 65 minutes until the top springs back when lightly touched with a fingertip (not a cake tester this cake will be moist) As soon as the cake goes into the oven mix the OJ with the 3 tablespoons of sugar and let it stand while baking. After you remove the cake from the oven let it cool for 5 minutes. Then, a little at a time, brush the glaze all over the cake encouraging most to run down the sides between the cake and pan but make sure the top is soaked also. This cake is going to soak all this up if you go slowly enough. Let the cake stand in the pan until it is completely cool. Cover it with a piece of wax or parchment paper. Invert the cake into your hand (go slow here, if it's stuck loosen the side with a knife) take off the pan and turn right side up again. Serve warm!

Categories     Cake     Bake     Chocolate     Orange

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Finely grated zest of 1 large, deep-colored orange
For the glaze:
1/3 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Adjust rack one-third up from the bottom of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees. You will need a loaf pan measuring about 8½ x 4½ x 2¾ inches, or one with about a 6‑cup capacity. Butter the pan and dust it all over lightly with fine, dry bread crumbs, shake out excess crumbs, and set the pan aside.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa, and sugar and set aside.
  • Beat the cream and vanilla in the small bowl of an electric mixer until the cream holds a definite shape. On low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula and beating only until the egg is incorporated after each addition. (The eggs will thin the cream slightly.)
  • Transfer to the large bowl of the mixer and gradually, on low speed, add the sifted dry ingredients, scraping the bowl and beating only until smooth. Remove from the mixer and stir in the grated zest. That's all there is to it.
  • Turn the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 1 hour and 5 minutes, until the top springs back when lightly pressed with a fingertip.
  • For the glaze:
  • As soon as the cake goes into the oven, mix the orange juice with the sugar and let it stand while the cake is baking.
  • After you remove the cake from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes. Then, a little at a time, brush the orange juice/sugar mixture all over the cake; encourage most of it to run down the sides between the cake and the pan, but thoroughly wet the top also. The cake will absorb it all.
  • Let the cake stand in the pan until it is completely cool. Then cover the pan loosely with a piece of wax paper. Invert the cake into the palm of your hand-easy does it-remove the pan, cover the cake with a rack, and invert again, leaving the cake right side up.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together the softened butter and 1 tablespoon of the cocoa to make a thick paste. Use this paste to paint the inside of the Bundt pan. Set aside.
  • In an electric mixer, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and remaining 1/2 cup cocoa and mix until blended. Add the orange juice, mayonnaise, vinegar and vanilla and mix until just combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Fold in the orange zest. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean, 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • For the chocolate glaze: Mix the confectioners' sugar and cocoa together. Whisk in the orange juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a good consistency to drizzle. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe oranges with a deep orange color. Avoid oranges that are green or have blemishes.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will help to release the essential oils from the oranges, which will give your cake a more intense flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
