Number Of Ingredients 22

Vegetable oil, cooking spray
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
1 cup boiling water
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest, plus 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
1/4 cup Cointreau (optional)
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup walnuts, toasted, finely chopped
Easy Seven-Minute Frosting
Chocolate Leaves for Orange Spice Cake
1/2 ounce marzipan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat three 6-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Line bottoms with parchment; coat parchment with cooking spray. Dust with flour; tap out excess. Set aside.
  • Stir boiling water and baking soda in a small bowl; set aside. Sift together flour, spices, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl; set aside.
  • Put butter, sugar, and zest into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed; mix in molasses, liqueur if desired, orange juice, corn syrup, and baking soda mixture. Mix in flour mixture, then eggs and vanilla. Stir in nuts.
  • Divide batter among prepared pans. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool on racks 15 minutes. Invert to unmold onto racks; remove parchment. Reinvert; let cool completely. Store cakes at room temperature, wrapped well in plastic, up to 1 day.
  • Trim tops of cakes flat. Spread 1/2 cup frosting on cut side of 1 layer. Top with a second layer; spread with 1/2 cup frosting. Top with final layer, cut side down. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides, smoothing with an offset spatula.
  • Place 6 or 7 green chocolate leaves on top of cake in a circle with tips facing out, overhanging sides slightly. Place 12 to 15 pink leaves on top of green leaves, leaving a hole in center. Roll marzipan into six to eight 1/8-inch balls; taper one end of each into a point. Place marzipan buds in center, point side down. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 8 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.

ORANGE & WHITE CHOCOLATE SPONGE

A stunning cake that will fast become a failsafe option for any event

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Time 1h10m

Yield Cuts into 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

175g butter , softened, plus extra for greasing
175g golden caster sugar
finely grated zest 4 orange and juice of 1
4 egg , separated
100g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
100g ground almond
200g white chocolate
200ml crème fraîche
100g white chocolate , to decorate

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter two 20cm round sandwich tins and line the bases with baking parchment. Tip the sugar into a mixing bowl and add the softened butter and orange zest. Beat for 1 min or so until pale and fluffy, then beat in the egg yolks. Sift the flour and baking powder over the cake mixture and fold in lightly. Finally, fold in the almonds and orange juice. Whisk the egg whites until they just hold their shape. Fold one-third of the egg white into the cake mix, using the whisk. Repeat with another third, then the final third. Take care not to over-mix or you will lose the lightness of the egg whites.
  • Divide the cake mix between the prepared tins and bake for 30-35 mins. Cool in the tin for 5 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack, peel off the lining paper and leave to cool.
  • To make the icing, melt the chocolate over a pan of barely simmering water or in the microwave on High for 1½ mins, stirring every 30 secs, then leave to cool. Whip the crème fraîche until thick, then fold in the white chocolate. Set one cake on a serving plate or cake stand. Spoon half the icing onto the cake and top with the other cake. Spread with the rest of the icing, then allow to set in the fridge for at least 1 hr.
  • If you want to make the decorative curls, melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water or in a microwave and spread thinly over a baking tray. Leave the tray in the fridge for the chocolate to harden a bit, then use a cake slice or angled knife blade to scrape chocolate curls. Pile the curls in the middle of the cake and serve cut into slices.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes one 10-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup plus 1 tablespoon cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/2 cups sugar
12 large egg whites, room temperature
1 tablespoon warm water
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon pure coconut extract
Coconut Glaze
2 cups unsweetened large-flake coconut
Angel Lollipops, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with rack in the lower third of oven. Sift together flour and 3/4 cup sugar 4 times.
  • Beat egg whites and warm water with a mixer on low speed until foamy, about 3 minutes. Add cream of tartar, vanilla, salt, and coconut extract. Raise speed to medium, and beat until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. With machine running, add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Raise speed to high, and beat until peaks are stiff and glossy, but not dry, about 2 minutes.
  • Working in 3 batches, sift flour mixture over egg-white mixture, gently folding in each addition with a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate egg whites.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake Properly: Follow the recipe's instructions carefully and bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. An underbaked cake will be gooey in the center, while an overbaked cake will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before you frost or decorate the cake, let it cool completely. This will help prevent the frosting from melting or sliding off the cake.
