Orange-Soaked Bundt Cake image

This amazingly moist and delicious cake is adapted from a favorite family recipe of Bianca Henry, a New York pastry instructor. You'll need a thin skewer to poke holes in the cake. Serve the cake garnished with slices of peeled oranges macerated with a little sugar and rum. From Fine Cooking, issue #30.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 ounces all-purpose flour, more for the pan
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 ounces unsalted butter, softened, more for the pan
3/4 cup canola oil (or other mild-flavored oil)
1 1/2 tablespoons finely minced lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup strained fresh orange juice
5 large eggs
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 cup confectioners' sugar, divided

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F Butter and flour a 10-inch tube pan or 12-cup bundt pan.
  • To make the cake-- Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and soda into the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until fine crumbs form. Change to the whisk attachment. With the machine running on medium speed, whisk in the oil, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and orange juice. Whisk in the eggs one at a time and then increase the speed to high and whisk the batter until light, about 3 min., scraping the sides of the bowl if necessary. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minute.
  • To make the syrup and glaze-- While the cake bakes, whisk together in a small bowl the orange juice concentrate, butter, rum, and 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar.
  • When the cake is done, set the pan on a rack to cool for 5 minute With a thin skewer, poke the cake all the way through to the bottom of the pan in about 100 places. Pour 1/3 cup of the syrup over the cake and let stand for 1/2 hour; repeat with another 1/3 cup of syrup and let stand another 1/2 hour before removing the cake from the pan. (At this point you can wrap the cake in plastic and hold for up to 3 days at room temperature; in fact, the flavor only improves.) Cover the remaining syrup with plastic and store at room temperature.
  • When ready to serve, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar into the remaining syrup. Set the cake on a rack over a baking sheet and pour the glaze over the cake. Let stand for at least 10 minute before slicing and serving.

THE BEST LOUISIANA CRUNCH CAKE EVER



The Best Louisiana Crunch Cake Ever image

One of my all time favorite southern classic desserts, that is excellent during the holidays, and even better everyday!

Provided by TwinGodesses

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 1 Cake, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup butter, softened
4 large eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit.
  • 2. Sift together cake flour, salt, baking powder and soda. Set aside.
  • 3. In a large separate bowl, beat butter until very fluffy (approx. 5 minuets) then add 2 cups of sugar. Continue to beat until light and fluffy (approx. 2 more minutes).
  • 4. Beat in eggs, one at a time, making sure that each egg is thoroughly blended before adding the next egg.
  • 5. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract.
  • 6. Blend in some of the dry ingredients followed by some of the buttermilk in alternates. This is a way to ensure that the ingredients are being thoroughly blended together -- For example; add dry mixture followed by buttermilk, dry mixture, buttermilk dry mixture -- so on and so forth -- DO NOT OVER BEAT OTHERWISE CAKE WILL BECOME HARD AS A BRICK ONCE FINISHED BAKING!
  • 7. Grease a bundt cake pan. I used a non stick angle food spring formed tube pan. If you do not have a non stick pan, be sure to grease your pan and dust with flour! Add in 1/4 cup of sugar to the bottom of pan and about 3 inches up the sides, tapping the pan to ensure even distribution. Leave excess sugar in pan. Sprinkle coconut flakes to the bottom of the pan. Scrape batter into the bundt pan and spread evenly.
  • 8. Bake for about 50 minutes to an hour or until a wooden skewer inserted comes out clean (if it comes out wet, bake another 10 minutes or so, if it comes out crumbly, you over baked the cake).
  • 9. Let cake cool for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove from pan, making sure that the sugary coconut side is faced upward. Use a knife to scrape the sides if cake becomes stuck. (this step is very important otherwise your cake will continue to bake and will become very dry and completely stuck in the pan).
  • 10. Drizzle glaze over the crunchy top portion of cake. Please use my Vanilla Almond Glaze recipe to complete this cake!

Tips:

  • Use a bundt pan with a removable bottom. This will make it easier to remove the cake from the pan without breaking it.
  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming dense.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it lighter and more tender.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help to ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.

Conclusion:

Orange Crunch Bundt Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy texture, sweet and tangy orange flavor, and crunchy pecan topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
