Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 9 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup dark rum, such as Mount Gay
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons grated orange zest (2 oranges)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Caramel sauce, such as Fran's, heated

Steps:

  • Place the pecans on a sheet pan and toast them for 5 to 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Set aside. Combine the rum and raisins in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 60 seconds. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla, and orange zest on medium speed for 3 minutes.

FIVE-SPICE ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH ORANGE CREME ANGLAISE-HOMEMADE



Five-Spice Angel Food Cake With Orange Creme Anglaise-Homemade image

An angel-food with a hint of spice served over an orange cream sauce. It makes for quite an elegant dessert. You can make the cake up to 2 days in advance if you keep it tightly wrapped at room temperature. Be sure to keep the cake upside down until it is completely cooled--this will help keep it from collapsing when it is taken out of the pan. Cooling time is not included in prep time as it varies based on conditions. See Recipe #24232.

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 ten inch cake, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder (Chinese Five-Spice Powder or find at grocery store)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
10 large egg whites, at room temperature (save yolks for Creme Anglaise)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup sugar
1 orange, rind of, grated
6 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier (or other orange-flavor liqueur) or 1 tablespoon Cointreau liqueur (or other orange-flavor liqueur)

Steps:

  • For cake: In bowl, sift together flour, five-spice powder and salt.
  • Sift mixture a second time.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and extracts together at medium speed.
  • Increase speed to high and continue to beat mixture until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add the sugar, beating until just before peaks are stiff.
  • Egg white mixture should be glossy and smooth.
  • Be careful not to over beat, or the cake will not be as tall.
  • Fold half of the flour mixture into the egg white mixture with a rubber spatula.
  • Then fold in the remaining flour mixture, being careful not to overwork the batter and knock the air out.
  • Pour batter into ungreased 10-inch tube pan and place on the middle oven rack.
  • Bake at 350°F until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • For Creme Anglaise: Meanwhile, in a 2-quart pan over medium-high heat, combine the half-and-half, sugar and orange peel.
  • Bring the mixture to a scald (just below the boiling point), then remove from heat and set aside for the flavors to steep for 30 minutes.
  • Return the pan to heat and reheat to scalding.
  • Back to Cake: Remove cake from oven and let stand for a few minutes before inverting onto a rack to cool; do not remove cake from pan yet.
  • Back to Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks.
  • Add a ladle full of the scalded cream mixture to the yolks to temper them, whisking immediately.
  • This is important or you will end up with scrambled eggs instead of a nice sauce.
  • With heat at medium, add warmed yolks to pan, whisking constantly until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
  • (Do not allow mixture to come to a boil.) Immediately pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
  • Set the bowl into a larger bowl of ice water and allow it to cool.
  • When cold, stir in the orange-flavored liqueur.
  • Back to cake: When cake is completely cool, turn pan over and gently run a knife around the edges to loosen cake.
  • Turn cake out onto a serving plate.
  • Cut cake using a serrated knife and serve each piece atop a pool of creme anglaise.

Tips:

  • Ensure accurate measurements: Use a kitchen scale or standard measuring cups for precise amounts of ingredients.
  • Choose fresh and quality ingredients: Freshly ground spices, citrus zest, and good quality chocolate make a big difference in flavor.
  • Proper oven temperature: Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking to ensure an even and consistent bake.
  • Mixing methods: Follow the recipe's instructions for mixing methods. Some recipes require creaming butter and sugar, while others use the muffin method or a food processor.
  • Whisking or folding: When incorporating dry ingredients, whisk or fold gently to avoid overmixing and a tough batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a dense and compact cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Baking times and checking for doneness: Follow recipe guidelines for baking times, but always check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Cooling before frosting: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting or becoming runny.

Conclusion:

With careful measurements, fresh ingredients, and proper techniques, you can create delicious and visually appealing baked goods that are perfect for any occasion. Experiment with different flavors, textures, and decorations to find your signature recipes and impress your friends and family with your baking skills.
