Provided by Elaine Douglas

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 2/3 c twice sifted all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c egg yolks (about 8 large)
1 whole egg
1 1/2 c fine granulated sugar
1 Tbsp grated orange zest
1 Tbsp strained orange juice
1/2 tsp lemon extract
3/4 c boiling water

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Use 10 inch tube cake pan. Do not oil or grease the pan.
  • 2. Sift together the twice sifted flour, baking powder and salt and put back in the sifter.
  • 3. In a large mixing bowl (the large mixer bowl) beat the egg yolks and egg until thick and lemon coloured (about 5 minutes).
  • 4. Gradually add sugar, beating after each addition (about 10 minutes) Remove the beater and fold in the orange zest, juice and flavouring.

  • 7. Turn into the ungreased tube pan and bake at 325 degrees F. for 60 to 65 minutes.
  • 8. Remove from oven, turn over and let hang for one hour to cool. When the cake is cool, loosen with a spatula and remove from pan. When cold, dust with icing sugar or frost with Orange Butter Frosting.

Tips

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use orange juice, but the flavor will be slightly less intense. Zest the oranges finely before adding them to the cake batter. This will help to release the orange oils and give the cake a more intense flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter and make the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that the cake is evenly mixed and rises properly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion

The orange sponge cake is a light, fluffy, and flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion. The orange zest and juice give the cake a bright and citrusy flavor, while the vanilla extract adds a touch of sweetness. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the cake, adding a creamy and tangy flavor.
