Time 45m

Yield about 24 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 ounces sliced almonds, finely chopped
8 ounces butter, (2 sticks) at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
3 large egg yolks, at room temperature
3 medium oranges, zested

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Grease 24 (1/2 cup) mini bundt pans (2 pans of 12 mini bundt tins). In an electric mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar. Beat until smooth.
  • Add the eggs and yolks, 1 at a time, and continue to beat until incorporated. Add the orange zest and vanilla. Add the flour and salt, 1/2 cup at a time until the batter is smooth. Spoon 1/3 cup of the batter into the prepared pans.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the top of the cake domes and are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Unmold the cakes onto wire racks.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and orange juice together. Whisk until smooth. Place the wire racks over a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the glaze over each cake. Sprinkle the top of each cake with the almonds. Cool the cakes to room temperature. Place the cakes on a serving platter and serve.

I would not recommend these cakes to anyone. They were not very good.

These cakes were a bit of a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the orange flavor was not very strong.

I would make these cakes again, but I would make a few changes. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze and I would grease and flour the pan more thoroughly.

Overall, I thought these cakes were good. They were moist and flavorful, but a bit too sweet for my taste.

I had some trouble getting the cakes out of the pan. I think I will grease and flour the pan more next time.
