ORANGE CHIFFON CAKE



Orange Chiffon Cake image

An easy Orange Chiffon Cake recipe

Categories     Cake     Dairy     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Easter     Orange     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the cake:
2 1/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
7 large egg yolks
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons freshly grated orange zest
2 teaspoons vanilla
9 large egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
For the whipped cream frosting:
2 cups well-chilled heavy cream
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon orange-flower water (available at specialty foods shops), or to taste, if desired
candied mimosa balls and candied violets (both available at specialty foods shops) for garnish if desired
fresh orange sections, membranes discarded, for garnish if desired

Steps:

  • Make the cake:
  • Into a large bowl sift together the flour, 3/4 cup of the sugar, the baking powder, and the salt. In a bowl whisk together the oil, the egg yolks, the orange juice, the zest, and the vanilla and whisk the mixture into the flour mixture, whisking until the batter is smooth. In the large bowl of an electric mixer beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are foamy, add the cream of tartar, and beat the whites until they hold stiff peaks. Add the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, and beat the whites until they hold stiff glossy peaks. Stir one third of the whites into the batter to lighten it and fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, 4 inches deep, with feet and a removable bottom, and bake the cake in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven for 1 hour, or until a tester comes out clean. Invert the pan immediately onto a rack and let the cake cool completely in the pan upside down on the rack. Run a long thin knife around the outer and tube edges of the pan and turn the cake out of the pan onto the rack. Using a serrated knife cut the cake in half horizontally.
  • Make the cream frosting:
  • In a large bowl, chilled, with an electric mixer beat together the cream, the Grand Marnier, the zest, the sugar, the orange-flower water, and a pinch of salt until the mixture holds stiff peaks.
  • Transfer the bottom layer of the cake to a platter, spread some of the frosting on it, and top it with the remaining layer. Spread the remaining frosting on the top layer and side of the cake and garnish the cake with the candied mimosa balls, the candied violets, and the orange sections.

Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps them combine smoothly and evenly.
  • Use fresh orange zest for the best flavor. Zest the oranges just before using, to release the most flavorful oils.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This is essential for creating a light and fluffy chiffon cake.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Overmixing can deflate the egg whites and result in a dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a tube pan to allow for even cooking. A tube pan also helps prevent the cake from shrinking.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This helps the cake set and makes it easier to handle.
  • For the frosting, use heavy cream that contains at least 35% butterfat. This will help the frosting whip up thick and creamy.
  • Add the orange juice and zest to the frosting just before serving. This will help preserve the fresh citrus flavor.

Conclusion:

This sunshine chiffon cake with creamy orange frosting is a delightful and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is light and fluffy, with a delicate orange flavor. The frosting is rich and creamy, with a hint of citrus. Follow the tips above to ensure your cake turns out perfectly. Enjoy!
