Time 1h55m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 orange, zest of, grated
6 eggs, separated, at room temperature
3/4 teaspoon whole coriander seed
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon sherry wine
1 tablespoon Bourbon
1 tablespoon brandy
1 pinch salt (optional)
1 pinch cream of tartar (optional)

Steps:

  • Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the zest and mix well. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time.
  • Grind the coriander seeds to a fine dust. Combine with the nutmeg, salt, flour and cornmeal. Add to the butter mixture. Beat in the sherry, bourbon and brandy.
  • Whip the egg whites (salt and cream of tartar help stabilize them) until soft peaks form. Fold one-third of the egg whites into the batter to lighten. Fold in remaining egg whites.
  • Pour into a greased 9-inch loaf pan. (If your loaf pan is 7 inches, you'll have enough batter left for a large muffin or two). Bake at 325 for 90 minutes. Cool slightly in pan, then turn out and cool completely.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I always have a few oranges on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

This cake is a bit dense, so it's not the best choice for a light and fluffy cake. However, it's still very delicious and moist.
