Best 7 Almond Cake With Caramelized Oranges Recipes

ALMOND CAKE WITH CARAMELIZED 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.

CLAUDIA RODEN'S ORANGE AND ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Wash the oranges and simmer them, unpeeled, in water to cover for 2 hours. Cool, cut them open and remove the seeds. Puree the oranges, including the peel, in a food processor.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Beat the eggs in a food processor or large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, including the orange puree, and mix thoroughly. Pour into a buttered and floured cake tin, with a removable base if possible.
• Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan before turning out.

ORANGE CAKE WITH SEMOLINA AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Combine chopped oranges and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan, cover, and cook over medium-low heat until oranges are soft and excess liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
• Place oranges in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely chopped.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat for 1 more minute.
• Beat egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a separate bowl until pale and thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in finely chopped oranges. Fold in ground almonds, semolina, vanilla extract, and fiori di Sicilia. Stir in 3 spoonfuls of whisked egg white to loosen the batter. Gently fold in remaining egg whites with a spatula or large metal spoon. Pour batter into prepared springform and level the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cake is golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Check cake after 20 and 30 minutes to see if it is starting to brown too quickly. Cover top lightly with aluminum foil once cake starts to brown.
• Remove from oven and cool in the pan. Remove ring, peel away parchment paper and transfer cake to a serving plate. Drizzle with liqueur and dust with confectioners' sugar.

CARAMEL ALMOND CAKE (TOSCATåRTA)

Steps:

• Cake: Preheat the oven to 325 F. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix almond paste and butter on low speed, 1 minute. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a small bowl. Turn mixer up to medium and add the eggs one at a time to the almond paste mixture. Allow each egg to completely incorporate into the batter, about 30 seconds, before adding the next one; this will ensure a smooth batter. Slowly add flour and continue mixing just to incorporate, 10-15 seconds.
• Prepare a springform pan with nonstick spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper and spray the parchment paper (this will prevent the cake from sticking). Pour batter into the pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Parbake until lightly golden, 10 minutes.
• Caramel topping: While cake is in the oven, add ½ cup cream, sugar, glucose, and butter to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook undisturbed until caramel is light brown and registers 244 F on a kitchen thermometer, 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in almonds to combine. As you stir, avoid scraping up any browned caramel that may be sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Remove cake from the oven; it will be gooey and not fully cooked. Carefully pour the warm caramel onto the cake; spread evenly. Return to the oven; bake until the caramel is golden brown and bubbly, 10 minutes.
• Remove cake from oven and let cool, 10-15 minutes. The top will firm up as it cools. Remove cake from pan by running a knife around the edge, then remove the sides from the base. (Keep the cake on the base for serving.) While the cake is cooling, whip cream for serving: Place remaining 1 cup heavy cream in a bowl and whisk until soft peaks form, 30 seconds. Slice cooled cake into wedges and serve with whipped cream.

SPICED CAKE WITH ALMONDS AND CARAMELIZED ORANGES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat 2 (8-inch) cake pans with cooking spray. Set aside.
• To make the cake, in a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, yogurt, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Turn batter into prepared caked pans and bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until tester inserted into center comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes and then turn onto wire racks to cool completely. Cut a thin layer off the top of each cake to make level.
• To make the caramelized oranges, in a large frying pan, combine orange juice, sugar and cinnamon. Bring mixture to a boil for 5 minutes. Add orange slices and continue boiling for an additional 5 minutes. With tongs, carefully remove caramelized oranges and place on waxed paper to cool.
• For the Cheese Frosting: In a small bowl, combine cream cheese frosting, cinnamon and cinnamon extract.
• To assemble: Frost cake with a thin layer of frosting between layers and on the outside. Gently press toasted sliced almond onto side of cake. Arrange caramelized orange slices on top of cake.

ORANGE ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Place orange in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until orange is soft, about 30 minutes. Drain.
• Cut orange into chunks and discard seeds.
• Mix almond flour with 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch cake pan and coat the pan with a handful of the almond-sugar mixture.
• Combine orange chunks and 1 cup sugar in a food processor; pulse until pureed. Add almond flour mixture and butter; process until smooth. Add eggs; mix until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; process until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.

ORANGE-ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch springform pan and sprinkle with matzo cake meal.
• In medium bowl, mix egg yolks, sugar, grated orange zest and cinnamon, and beat well.
• Place half the almonds in food processor and pulverize. Add remaining almonds and pulse until coarsely chopped. Stir into egg yolk mixture.
• In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter and pour into pan.
• Bake for about 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center.
• Meanwhile, squeeze oranges and mandarins for about 3 cups juice and pour into small saucepan with 3/4 cup sugar. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Simmer gently until liquid has reduced by half and is a sticky syrup. Keep warm enough not to set.
• When cake is tepid, remove to large plate with lip and make holes with toothpick or skewer all over it, right through to bottom. Pour syrup onto cake so it absorbs it all. There will be a sticky pink moat around it; let it sit for a few hours, occasionally spooning more syrup over surface.
• Pour cream or nondairy topping into bowl with vanilla seeds and sugar and whisk until sloppily firm. Pour in orange liqueur, and whisk until soft. Serve alongside cake.
