Number Of Ingredients 9

10 tablespoons (1 stick, plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups cake flour, sifted
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Pinch of salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon almond extract
Grated zest of 1 orange
4 navel oranges

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, beat butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until fluffy. Add flour, alternating with cream, in two additions. Add salt. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in almond extract and orange zest. Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, peel 3 oranges with a sharp knife, removing all of the white pith, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Cut largest rounds in half. Squeeze juice from fourth orange into a heavy-bottomed skillet; add remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Cook over medium heat until golden-brown caramel forms, about 5 minutes. Add orange rounds and cook until glazed, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve at once with cake.

Overall, this was a good cake. The flavor was good, but the texture was a bit dry. I would try it again with a few modifications.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add a little more moisture to the batter next time.

I loved the combination of almond and orange flavors in this cake. The caramelized oranges were a nice touch, but I think I would have preferred them to be a bit sweeter.
