Based on recipe from the Junior League of New Orleans

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/4 cups sugar
6 egg yolks
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon double acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
2 cups whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons grated orange peel

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a large bowl with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Beating at high speed, gradually sprinkle in 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until each addition is completely dissolved. Do not scrape sides of bowl at any time.
  • Whites should stand in stiff peaks. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl with mixer at high speed, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored. Continue beating, gradually sprinkling in 1/2 cup sugar; beat until pale yellow. Reduce to low speed; add flour, 1/4 cup orange juice, baking powder and salt until well mixed, occasionally scraping bowl with spatula. Using a spatula, fold the egg white mixture into the yolk mixture until just blended.
  • Line 2, 9 inch round cake pans with waxed paper; do not grease. Pour batter into pans and bake for 40 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool cakes in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and cool completely on racks. With fork, prick holes in cake layers.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, boil 1/3 cup water, and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar for 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup orange juice. Drizzle evenly over layers and let stand for 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in orange peel.
  • Place one layer on serving platter and spread with 1/3 of whipped cream. Top with second layer. Frost top and sides with remaining cream. Garnish with orange sections or candied orange peel and fresh mint sprigs. Refrigerate.
  • For best results in whipping cream, chill the bowl and the beaters beforehand.
  • For a variation on the orange cake, spread a thinlayer of marmalade between the layers.
  • Dr. White also calls this cake "waxed paper" cake and warns not to forget to remove the waxed paper before icing, as he once did.

FLORENCE'S ORANGE CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 sticks butter, softened, plus more for greasing
8 ounces all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
8 ounces caster sugar (superfine)
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
4 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
Juice of 2 oranges, for cake, filling, and icing
1 stick plus 1 tablespoon butter, softened
8 ounces icing sugar (confectioners'), sifted
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
Orange juice, as needed
11 ounces icing sugar (confectioners'), sifted
Crystallized flowers, for decorating, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the sides of 2 (8-inch) sandwich or cake pans or a (11-inch) springform pan with melted butter, and dust with flour. Line the base of each pan with greaseproof or parchment paper.
  • Cream the 2 sticks butter in a large bowl or in an electric food mixer until soft. Gradually add the sugar, and orange zest, and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well between each addition. Sift the 8 ounces flour and baking powder into the mixture, and stir. Gently, stir in 1 tablespoon of the orange juice.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between the 2 prepared pans, making a slight hollow in the center of each cake so that it will rise evenly without forming a peak. Bake in the oven until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cakes, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let the cakes sit for 5 minutes, and then turn out onto a wire rack, and cool completely.
  • To make the orange filling: Cream the butter until very soft, and then add the sugar and orange zest. Gradually beat in 1 tablespoon of the orange juice to create a smooth, soft mixture.
  • To make the glace icing: Add enough orange juice to the sugar for a spreadable icing. If it is too soft, it will run off the cake, but if it is too stiff, it will be difficult to spread.
  • When the cakes are cool, carefully slice each cake in half horizontally. If baking a single cake, slice the cake horizontally into two or three even layers. Spread the orange filling between the cake layers, and sandwich the pieces together. Using a palette knife, spread the glace icing over the top and sides, and decorate with the crystallized flowers, if using.

1 pint whipping cream
6 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 -5 tablespoons orange juice concentrate

Steps:

  • To make the cake:.
  • Preheat oven to 325. Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and orange extract. Blend in 1/3 of the flour mixture then half of the orange juice/milk mixture. Blend in half of the remaining flour mixture, then the rest of the orange juice/milk mixture, and then finally the remaining flour mixture. Mix at medium speed until ingredients are thoroughly blended (about 1 or 2 minutes). Tint cake batter orange. Pour batter into two 8" round prepared cake pans. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake layer. Cool 15 minutes before turning out on to cooling racks.
  • To make the filling:.
  • Combine sugar and cornstarch in a small sauce pan. Add remaining filling ingredients and mix well. Cook over medium heat stirring continuously until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Pour filling into a container and chill in the refrigerator.
  • To make the icing:.
  • Whip cream to soft peaks. Gradually whip in sugar. Mix in vanilla. Mix in orange juice concentrate to taste. Add orange food coloring.
  • To assemble the cake:.
  • Split the two cake layers in half so you have four layers. Lay the first layer on a plate. Pipe a small border of the whipped cream on the layer at the edge. Fill the center of the cake layer with 1/3 of the orange filling. Repeat with the remaining layers. Starting at the bottom you should have cake, filling, cake, filling, cake, filling, cake. Ice the outside of the cake with the remaining orange flavor whipped cream. Chill cake in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.

  • I usually color the cake batter a medium orange, the filling a dark orange, and the whipped cream a pale orange.

Tips:

  • Proper Baking: Preheat the oven before baking the cake layers to ensure even cooking. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cooling the Cake: Allow the cake layers to cool completely before assembling the cake. This helps prevent the frosting from melting and ensures a stable cake structure.
  • Make the Orange Curd in Advance: You can make the orange curd filling up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to develop and makes the assembly process easier.
  • Decorate to Your Liking: Feel free to decorate the cake with additional orange slices, zest, or whipped cream to add visual appeal and enhance the orange flavor.
