Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs (at room temperature)
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup whole milk (room temperature)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 2 oranges)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
8 oz cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons orange zest
4 cups icing sugar ((confectioner's or powdered sugar)*)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 8-inch cake pans.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, oil and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • To the stand mixer bowl, add the eggs, egg yolk, vanilla and orange zest. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a measuring cup, combine the milk and orange juice.
  • With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and milk/OJ mixture, in 3 instalments each, beating until JUST combined (do not over beat).
  • Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and give it a good stir with a rubber spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the layers to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes and turn them over onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Beat in the vanilla extract and orange zest.
  • Add the confectioner's sugar, one cup at a time, until the frosting is smooth and creamy. If you think it is too soft, put the bowl in the refrigerator for about an hour to firm up.
  • Place one cake layer on a plate or turntable, and using an offset spatula, frost the top with about 1 cup of frosting. Place the second layer upside down on top and frost the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with orange slices if desired.

Orange zest perfumes this butter-based cake with cream cheese frosting.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature, plus more for buttering the pans
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pans (See Cook?s Note)
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1/2 cup milk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, at room temperature
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, cut into pieces, at room temperature
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups confectioners? sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup cold heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of two 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment, butter again and dust the whole pan with flour, tapping out the excess.
  • Put the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt into the bowl of a food processor. Add the granulated sugar and orange zest and pulse a few times to combine evenly. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse sand, with some pea-size bits of butter.
  • Whisk the milk, vanilla and eggs together in a small bowl or measuring cup with a spout. With the processor running, pour in the milk mixture and process until smooth. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
  • Cool the cakes in the pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pans and invert the cakes onto the rack. Peel off the parchment and cool completely.
  • Beat the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners? sugar, vanilla and salt and gradually increase the mixer speed to medium-high, and beat until the sugar is incorporated and the frosting is fluffy and smooth, about 3 minutes. With the mixer running on low beat in the cream and then continue beating until the frosting is creamy and thick, about 1 more minute.
  • Place one of the cake layers on a serving plate, and spread 1 cup of the frosting over the top. Top with the other cake layer and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

FRESH ORANGE CAKE WITH ORANGE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Fresh Orange Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 20

Cake:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
zest from the oranges
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream (Lite is okay)
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon pure orange oil
Optional: 2 teaspoons Loranne's Buttery Sweet Dough Emulsion
Frosting:
1 stick butter, softened
3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 teaspoon pure orange oil (optional)
2-4 cups* confectioners sugar
Add up to 8 cups of sugar, if that's your cup of tea.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 3 9-inch cake pans with nonstick baking spray* and line with parchment. Spray parchment with baking spray. *NOTE: I used 2-9-inch cake pans, figuring I'd slice those in half. That was tricky, as the cake was so moist, that it took a miracle that transferring the layers didn't break! In a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add oil, orange juice, eggs and sour cream. Optional: I add 1/4 teaspoon of pure orange oil, for more flavor. Beat at medium speed with a mixer until smooth. Pour into prepared pans and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks. Frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with a mixer until creamy. Add orange zest and orange juice, beating until combined. Gradually add confectioners sugar beating until smooth. (NOTE: You can add more confectioner's sugar, if you prefer a much thicker frosting.) Assembly: Spread frosting evenly between layers and on top and sides of cake.

CARROT CAKE



Carrot Cake image

Carrot Cake is one of those classic recipes that works so well for any celebration. The bright orange color offset by creamy white frosting makes Carrot Cake the star of any dessert tray. As the name implies, the shredded carrots give this easy Carrot Cake recipe its bright color, but the taste is subtle. Warm cinnamon and vanilla help create a swoon-worthy flavor as you bite into the moist, dense cake. One of the best parts of Carrot Cake is the famous sweet-and-tangy cream cheese frosting. Follow our homemade recipe, or save time, and substitute Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting instead.
