FRESH ORANGE CAKE WITH ORANGE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Fresh Orange Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 20

Cake:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
zest from the oranges
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream (Lite is okay)
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon pure orange oil
Optional: 2 teaspoons Loranne's Buttery Sweet Dough Emulsion
Frosting:
1 stick butter, softened
3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 teaspoon pure orange oil (optional)
2-4 cups* confectioners sugar
Add up to 8 cups of sugar, if that's your cup of tea.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 3 9-inch cake pans with nonstick baking spray* and line with parchment. Spray parchment with baking spray. *NOTE: I used 2-9-inch cake pans, figuring I'd slice those in half. That was tricky, as the cake was so moist, that it took a miracle that transferring the layers didn't break! In a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add oil, orange juice, eggs and sour cream. Optional: I add 1/4 teaspoon of pure orange oil, for more flavor. Beat at medium speed with a mixer until smooth. Pour into prepared pans and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks. Frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with a mixer until creamy. Add orange zest and orange juice, beating until combined. Gradually add confectioners sugar beating until smooth. (NOTE: You can add more confectioner's sugar, if you prefer a much thicker frosting.) Assembly: Spread frosting evenly between layers and on top and sides of cake.

ORANGE ZUCCHINI CAKE



Orange Zucchini Cake image

I got this recipe from one of the ladies I used to work with long ago (sorry, can't remember who). I like the idea of using All-Bran in the recipe, to make the cake somewhat healthier. Of course, I undo all the "healthy goodness", when I ice this cake with cream cheese frosting!

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 1 11" x 7" cake

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil (or canola oil)
2 eggs
1/2 cup all-bran cereal
1 1/2 teaspoons orange peel, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup zucchini, grated
1/2 cup nuts, chopped (I like pecans)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven @ 325*. Grease and flour a 11" x 7" pan.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil and eggs until well mixed. Stir in the All-Bran, orange peel and vanilla. Add the flour mixture, zucchini and nuts, mixing well. Spread evenly in prepared pan.
  • Bake @ 325* for 20-25 minutes (check for doneness with toothpick).
  • Cool completely and frost with you favorite cream cheese frosting! (I like to add 1/2-1 teaspoon grated orange peel to my cream cheese frosting for this cake).

Tips:

  • Select Fresh and Tender Zucchini: Use young and tender zucchini for the best flavor and texture. Larger zucchini may have a more fibrous texture and stronger flavor.
  • Shred the Zucchini Properly: Shred the zucchini using a box grater with the large holes. Avoid using a food processor, as it can release too much moisture and make the cake dense.
  • Squeeze Excess Moisture from Zucchini: After shredding, place the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then squeeze out the excess moisture using a cheesecloth or paper towels. This step helps prevent the cake from becoming too moist.
  • Use Fresh Orange Zest and Juice: Freshly zested orange peel and juice provide the best flavor. Avoid using bottled or concentrated orange juice, as they lack the same depth of flavor.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for a tender and moist cake. Make sure to use softened butter for the best results.
  • Gradually Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake Properly: Bake the cake in a preheated oven and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. When the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.

Conclusion:

This Orange Zucchini Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Icing is a delicious and refreshing treat that combines the flavors of orange and zucchini perfectly. With its moist and tender crumb, zesty orange flavor, and creamy orange cream cheese icing, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you're looking for a sweet treat for a special occasion or a simple snack to enjoy, this cake is a great choice. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's get baking!
