TEQUILA SUNRISE CAKE



Tequila Sunrise Cake image

I love a bright, fresh bundt cake and have taken this one to a boozy level. The interior is soft, dense, and colorful. Tequila is baked into half the batter for the classic tequila sunrise flavor. The cake is coated in a sweet citrus glaze that is spiked with tequila. This is one delightful dessert fitting for any holiday or special occasion.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 and 1/4 cups unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup tequila
1/4 cup pomegranate juice
red food coloring
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons tequila
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
pomegranate seeds for garnish

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and heat to 350°F. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan with cooking spray. Dust the pan lightly with flour then tap out any excess.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the orange zest and vanilla. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir with a whisk to combine. Use a silicone spatula to gently fold half the flour mixture into the butter mixture just until incorporated. Add the orange juice and stir until combined. Fold in the remaining flour mixture until all the dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Transfer half the batter to a medium bowl. Add the pomegranate juice and a few drops of red food coloring. Stir with a whisk until well blended. And the tequila to the remaining batter and whisk until well combined.
  • Using a 2-inch cookie scoop, drop alternating colors of batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan on the counter one or two times to remove any air pockets. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few dry crumbs.
  • Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Combine the sugar and orange juice in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat. Stir in the tequila and confectioners' sugar until smooth.
  • Use a pastry brush to brush the glaze all over the surface of the cake. Slice and serve with pomegranate seeds.

TEQUILA SUNRISE FREEZER POPS



Tequila Sunrise Freezer Pops image

If you grew up in the 1990s and remember Push Pops, then this dessert will definitely hit home. I'm giving one of my favorite childhood treats an adult twist. The recipe includes an orange tequila semifreddo and a grenadine jelly set with gelatin. And of course, each frozen pop has the hue of a traditional tequila sunrise cocktail.

Time 3h30m

Yield 7 pops

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup grenadine
1/4 cup cold water
1 teaspoon gelatin powder
1/3 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup cream cheese, softened
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
3 1/2 tablespoons gold tequila
2 1/2 tablespoons pasteurized egg yolks

Steps:

  • Prepare 7 push-up pop molds by placing a Styrofoam block or blocks on a small baking tray. Insert 7 pop molds into the Styrofoam. Set aside.
  • For the grenadine jelly: Combine the grenadine and cold water in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Sprinkle the gelatin over top and allow it to bloom for 5 minutes. Slowly melt the gelatin by microwaving it in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until just smooth and dissolved. Refrigerate while you prepare the semifreddo.
  • For the orange tequila semifreddo: Whip the cream to soft peaks with a whisk. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Combine the softened cream cheese and orange zest in a medium bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula until smooth. Mix in the confectioners' sugar. Whisk in the orange juice and tequila. Whisk in the pasteurized egg yolks. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer.
  • Remove the whipped cream and grenadine gelatin from the refrigerator.
  • Fold the strained orange mixture into the whipped cream. Fill each mold 3/4 full with the orange semifreddo.
  • Gently pour the grenadine mixture into each mold, filling each to the top. The grenadine mixture will take a few minutes to settle to the bottom. Once it has, take a long bamboo skewer or chopstick and gently stir it. Place the molds into the freezer until frozen, at least 3 hours.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Chill the cake pops for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in the candy coating. This will help the coating set more quickly and evenly.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the candy coating by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the coating hardens immediately, it's ready to use.
  • If the candy coating is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of vegetable oil.
  • Be creative with your toppings! You can use sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even edible glitter to decorate your cake pops.
