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:

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.

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.

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.

Provided by SharleneW

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 all ingredients are at room temperature: This allows them to combine more easily and evenly, resulting in a smooth, consistent batter.
  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor and aroma to the cake. If using store-bought orange juice, choose 100% pure orange juice with no added sugar or preservatives.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites can make the cake tough. Beat them until they form stiff peaks, but don't go beyond that point.
  • Fold the egg whites into the batter gently: This will help maintain the airiness of the egg whites and prevent the cake from deflating.
  • Bake the cake in a tube pan: This allows for even cooking and helps the cake rise properly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

Conclusion:

Orange Cream Angel Food Cake is a light, fluffy, and flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its zesty orange flavor and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips to ensure your cake turns out perfectly every time. Enjoy!
