Time 3h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon grated tangerine peel
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 eggs
1 cup milk
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup tangerine juice
2 tablespoons rum or 1 teaspoon rum extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom and side of 12-cup fluted tube cake pan or 2 (9x5-inch) loaf pans with shortening; lightly flour. Mix flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  • In large bowl, beat 2 1/2 cups sugar, 1 cup butter, the tangerine peel, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 5 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in flour mixture alternately with milk on low speed, beating just until smooth after each addition. Pour into pan(s). (If using fluted tube cake pan, place pan on cookie sheet.)
  • Bake fluted tube cake pan 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, loaf pans 55 to 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat 3/4 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons butter and the tangerine juice over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in rum.
  • Immediately poke long skewer into top of baked cake at 1-inch intervals (about 20 times). Spoon glaze over cake, allowing glaze to soak into holes. Cool 20 minutes; remove from pan(s) to wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.

The cake was a little dry, but the glaze helped to make it more moist. The flavor was good, but I think I would have preferred a stronger orange flavor.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a well-made cake.

I'm not usually a fan of pound cake, but this one was really good. The tangerine flavor was subtle but noticeable, and the cake was moist and dense.

This cake was easy to make and turned out perfectly. I love the glaze on top, it gives the cake a nice crunch.

I've made this cake several times now, and it's always a hit with my friends and family. The tangy orange flavor is a nice change from the traditional pound cake.

This tangerine pound cake was a delight! The citrus flavor was bright and refreshing, and the cake was moist and fluffy. I'm definitely adding this recipe to my regular baking rotation.
