Number Of Ingredients 9

10 tablespoons (1 stick, plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups cake flour, sifted
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Pinch of salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon almond extract
Grated zest of 1 orange
4 navel oranges

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, beat butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until fluffy. Add flour, alternating with cream, in two additions. Add salt. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in almond extract and orange zest. Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, peel 3 oranges with a sharp knife, removing all of the white pith, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Cut largest rounds in half. Squeeze juice from fourth orange into a heavy-bottomed skillet; add remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Cook over medium heat until golden-brown caramel forms, about 5 minutes. Add orange rounds and cook until glazed, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve at once with cake.

This cake was delicious! The almond flavor was rich and nutty, and the caramelized oranges added a perfect touch of sweetness and tanginess. I would definitely make this cake again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the caramelized oranges.

This cake is my new go-to dessert. It's so easy to make and always turns out perfectly. The almond flavor is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the caramelized oranges. I love serving this cake with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
