LEMON ORANGE CAKE



Lemon Orange Cake image

I like to bake this lovely three-layer lemon and orange cake instead of a more traditional pie for Thanksgiving. It has that tangy Florida citrus flavor and isn't any more difficult to make than a two-layer cake. -Norma Poole, Auburndale, Florida

BEAT AND BAKE SPONGE CAKE



Beat and Bake Sponge Cake image

I have tried other sponge cake recipes and they always flop for me. My mother use to make this when we were kids. She doubled the ingredients and made it in one of those large oven trays that often come with the oven. It never lasted long enough to come out of the tray! As a variation, you could add lemon or orange rind to the mix, or even granadilla seeds.

Tips:

- Use fresh oranges for the best flavor, and zest the oranges before juicing them to get the most flavor out of the peel. - Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy for a smooth and creamy cake texture. - Beat the eggs one at a time to prevent the batter from curdling. - Fold in the dry ingredients gently to avoid overmixing, which can result in a tough cake. - Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking. - Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the cake is done. - Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it for a neat and professional finish.
