TANGERINE CAKE WITH CITRUS GLAZE



Tangerine Cake with Citrus Glaze image

Tangerine juice adds zest to the batter and glaze of this festive Bundt cake. Thin skins make tangerines a breeze to squeeze by hand. For smooth, pulp-free juice (great in this glaze), strain juice through a fine-mesh sieve before using.

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons finely grated tangerine zest, plus 1/2 cup tangerine juice (from 6 tangerines)
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
3/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons tangerine juice (from 2 tangerines)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make cake: Butter and flour a 12-cup Bundt cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy, 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in tangerine zest and juice and liqueur. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions yogurt, and beat to combine; beat in vanilla. Transfer batter to pan, smooth top, and firmly tap pan on a flat surface to remove air bubbles.

CLEMENTINE CAKE



Clementine Cake image

This dessert, loosely based on a Sephardic orange cake, uses whole clementines, peels and all, for a flavor rich in citrus. The cooking time may seem long, but much of it doesn't require much attention from the baker. And the first step, reducing the fruit, may be done ahead of time.

Provided by John Willoughby

Categories     dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 medium clementines (about 375 grams)
Spray cooking oil
6 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups almond flour or very finely ground blanched almonds
2 teaspoons baking powder
Powdered sugar, chocolate glaze or candied clementines, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place whole unpeeled clementines in a large pot, cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer gently for 2 hours, adding more water as needed. Remove clementines with a slotted spoon and, once cool enough to handle, halve and remove any seeds or other hard bits. Purée in a food processor or blender and set aside. (May be done up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated.)
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking oil, line bottom with parchment paper and spray paper with oil.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with the sugar, salt and clementine purée. Add the almond flour and baking powder and stir until just combined.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake until edges are golden brown and starting to pull away from sides of pan, about 1 hour. Transfer to wire rack set over baking sheet. After 10 minutes, run a knife around edge of pan to loosen cake; remove cake from pan. Peel off parchment paper and return cake to wire rack to cool completely. Decorate with dusting of powdered sugar, or with chocolate glaze and/or candied clementines.

FRESH TANGERINE CAKE



Fresh Tangerine Cake image

I got this recipe out of the Paula Deen magazine, March/April 2008 issue. Made it for myself for my birthday, and everyone REALLY loved it. It is a dense, extremely moist cake. It didn't last long at all when I broke it out. For me, I would say it could stand a bit more tangerine flavor, but it was quite good. I wonder if adding orange extract to the batter would make a difference? Maybe next time. . . I also think you could substitute any other kind of citrus, equal amounts, with the same delicious results.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 9-inch cake, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon tangerine zest
1 cup fresh tangerine juice
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
candied tangerine zest (to garnish) (optional)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon finely grated tangerine zest
3 tablespoons fresh tangerine juice
6 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the cake:.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with non-stick cooking spray with flour. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat in oil, zest, juice and eggs at medium speed with an electric mixer until combined. Add sour cream, beating until smooth.
  • Pour batter into prepared pans, and bake for 25 minutes (it took about 40 minutes for mine, FYI), or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for (at least) 10 minutes. Remove cake from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
  • Spread frosting in between layers and on top and sides of cake. Garnish with candied tangerine zest, and pipe remaining frosting around top and bottom of cake, if desired.
  • Note: You can purchase the candied zest at many specialty stores, or do as I did: Zest the tangerines in long pieces (one inch or more). Boil zest in one part water to one part sugar for approximately 20-30 minutes, or until you can easily bite through it. Let dry on a wire rack, then store in airtight container. Or, as I like to do--while the zest is still wet, dredge it in granulated sugar before drying.
  • For the frosting:.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in zest and juice until combined. Gradually beat in confectioner's sugar until smooth.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh tangerines and oranges. If you can't find fresh citrus, you can substitute 1 cup of orange juice and 1/2 cup of tangerine juice.
  • Be sure to zest the tangerines and oranges before juicing them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This tangerine orange cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a bright citrus flavor. The frosting is smooth and creamy, and it perfectly complements the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
