MANDARIN ORANGE ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Mandarin Orange Angel Food Cake image

Recipe from Semi Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee. My dad loved this cake and he is the one that always says everything is just OK no matter how great it is. This cake comes out so moist!

Provided by Lucky.Wife

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (18 ounce) box angel food cake mix
15 ounces mandarin oranges
1 tablespoon orange zest
16 ounces Cool Whip

Steps:

  • Add the juice from the oranges and the orange zest to the cake mix.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Bake in a bundt pan at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
  • Cool completly. Frost with Cool Whip and decorate with the mandarin oranges.
  • I used 3 Tbs. orange zest, but that is just a personal preference. You can also add half the caan of oranges into the batter before baking, but for some reason it always makes my cake stick to the pan. So just experiment. It is just as good with the oranges on top of the cake instead of in it.

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield : 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups egg whites (from about 1 dozen eggs), at room temperature
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar, plus 1/2 cup
1 1/8 cups sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 orange, zested
3/4 cup orange juice
1 1/2 pounds confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, gradually add 1 cup of the sugar and continue whipping until stiff and the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds.
  • Sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the pre-sifted cake flour 3 times, to aerate the mixture. Fold into the egg whites, then fold in the vanilla, and zest.
  • Spoon the batter into ungreased mini tube pans. Bake until light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool by turning the cake (in the pan) upside down until it cools to room temperature. Run a long, sharp knife blade around the cakes to loosen, then knock the cakes out onto a plate, or work them out with your fingers. The outside of the cake will remain in the pan leaving the cake whiter and more angelic looking.
  • Make the glaze: Stir the ingredients together until smooth. Dip the tops of the cakes in the glaze. Let set for at least 30 minutes before serving, or until the icing is hard. Serve with sorbet.
  • Serving suggestion: sorbet .

Tips:

  • Use a clean bundt pan. Any residue on the pan can prevent the cake from rising evenly and cause it to stick.
  • Grease and flour the bundt pan thoroughly. This will help the cake to release easily from the pan.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.
