Roasted Orange Cakes image

Categories     Cake     Rum     Egg     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Orange     Raisin     Vanilla     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup dark rum
8 to 10 large navel oranges
1 1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest
3/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk
Accompaniment: superpremium vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Simmer raisins and rum in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally, until rum is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut a very thin slice off bottom of each orange so it will stand without rolling. Cut a 3/4-inch-thick slice off top of each, removing any flesh from tops and reserving them. Remove as much flesh as possible from orange with a sharp knife and a spoon (reserving flesh for another use if desired), leaving an empty shell.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda and powder, and salt. Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in vanilla and zest. Alternately fold in flour mixture and buttermilk in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Fold in raisins.
  • Fill orange shells two-thirds full with batter and put tops in place. Wrap oranges individually in foil and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake in middle of oven 50 minutes.
  • Transfer oranges in foil to a rack. Remove foil when cool enough to handle, then cool oranges on racks at least 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED ORANGE CHICKEN



Roasted Orange Chicken image

Whole tangerines, peel and all, roast alongside chicken in a sweetened soy sauce that thickens into a glaze and lacquers the bird. The fruit wedges soften in the syrupy sauce while infusing it with their floral bittersweetness. Reminiscent of savory Cantonese soy sauce chicken and tangy American Chinese orange chicken, this dish also combines the warmth of ginger with the bit of heat from ground hot chiles. You can eat the tangerine wedges along with the chicken, which is delicious with its sauce over steamed rice or boiled noodles. Serve with stir-fried brussels sprouts or bok choy.

Provided by Genevieve Ko

Categories     poultry, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 small tangerines or clementines
1/2 packed cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar or distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cayenne or other hot red ground chile
1 (4-pound) whole chicken
Salt and black pepper
8 slices peeled fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Squeeze 1/4 cup juice from 2 to 3 tangerines into a small bowl; reserve the spent peels. Cut the remaining tangerines into wedges with their peels intact, and set aside. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne to the tangerine juice and whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  • Generously season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck the wingtips behind the body. Stuff the tangerine peels and 6 ginger slices into the cavity, then tie the legs together using kitchen twine. Place in a large ovenproof skillet, and scatter the tangerine wedges and remaining 2 slices ginger around the chicken.
  • Slowly pour the juice mixture all over the chicken, then slide the skillet into the oven. Roast for 30 minutes.
  • Using a large spoon or baster, quickly and carefully coat the chicken with the pan sauce. Continue roasting, basting every 10 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast should register 155 degrees and, in the leg, 170 degrees. The chicken will continue to cook while it rests.
  • Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for about 5 minutes. If the pan sauce isn't already syrupy, bring it to a boil over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Be sure to wear oven mitts or use a kitchen towel to hold the skillet (the handle is hot). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bubbles grow larger and paler brown, and the sauce is the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes. Discard the ginger.
  • Serve the chicken whole or carved with the glaze poured all over the meat. Arrange the tangerine wedges from the pan around the bird. You can eat them, if you'd like.

BLOOD ORANGE OLIVE OIL CAKE



Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake image

There are cakes that can be made without turning on (or having to clean) the food processor or electric mixer. This is one of them. The recipe, inspired by Dorie Greenspan's extra-virgin olive oil cake, uses blood oranges, which leave the cut loaf dappled with ruby dots. It's a lovely presentation, but regular oranges could be used, too.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Butter for greasing pan
3 blood oranges
1 cup sugar
Buttermilk or plain yogurt
3 large eggs
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Honey-blood orange compote, for serving, optional (see note)
Whipped cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Grate zest from 2 oranges and place in a bowl with sugar. Using your fingers, rub ingredients together until orange zest is evenly distributed in sugar.
  • Supreme an orange: Cut off bottom and top so fruit is exposed and orange can stand upright on a cutting board. Cut away peel and pith, following curve of fruit with your knife. Cut orange segments out of their connective membranes and let them fall into a bowl. Repeat with another orange. Break up segments with your fingers to about 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Halve remaining orange and squeeze juice into a measuring cup. You will have about 1/4 cup or so. Add buttermilk or yogurt to juice until you have 2/3 cup liquid altogether. Pour mixture into bowl with sugar and whisk well. Whisk in eggs.
  • In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gently whisk dry ingredients into wet ones. Switch to a spatula and fold in olive oil a little at a time. Fold in pieces of orange segments. Scrape batter into pan and smooth top.
  • Bake cake for about 55 minutes, or until it is golden and a knife inserted into center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes, then unmold and cool to room temperature right-side up. Serve with whipped cream and honey-blood orange compote, if desired.

ROASTED ORANGES



Roasted Oranges image

The idea for the oranges was originally found on Just A Pinch, in a recipe by Kim Biegacki for Blackened Shrimp Salad with Roasted Oranges. It was a wonderful salad, but what made the dish was the roasted oranges. My... what a wonderful aroma while they are broiling! It totally made the dish. I'm posting just the roasted oranges because they are awesome and there could be so many uses for them... I think they would be fantastic over homemade vanilla bean ice-cream. Serving size is a guess - I could eat a whole orange-worth by myself!

Categories     Oranges

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 medium navel orange (any seedless orange will do)
vanilla
cinnamon
honey

Steps:

  • Line a small baking tray with foil, then spray with a bit of oil.
  • Peel orange by removing the skin and the white membrane, then cut into 1/4 inch thick slices. Lay flat on the foil lined tray.
  • Drizzle with a good vanilla extract, then sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Finally, drizzle honey generously over each slice.
  • Place oranges in oven or toaster oven, set to "broil".
  • Broil until they are nice and brown on top. In my toaster oven, this takes about 15 minutes, but probably less in a regular oven.

ORANGE-YOGURT CAKE



Orange-Yogurt Cake image

This lightly sweet, no-mixer-required cake gets a its touch of sophistication from sweetened segmented oranges and strips of zest.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 35m

Yield Makes one 8-inch round cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

Unsalted butter, softened, for pan
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 1 tablespoon orange juice
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large oranges (1 zested into thin strips, both segmented)
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch round cake pan. Stir flour, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, baking soda, salt, yogurt, oil, orange zest and juice, egg, and vanilla in a bowl. Pour into pan. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
  • Place zest strips in a bowl. Stir in segments and remaining tablespoon sugar. Garnish cake with some segments; serve with the rest. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Use ripe oranges: The riper the oranges, the sweeter and more flavorful the cakes will be.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will help to release the essential oils from the oranges, which will give the cakes a more intense flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cakes tough.
  • Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cakes are cooked through.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Roasted orange cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist and flavorful, with a beautiful golden brown crust. The orange flavor is perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not too tart. These cakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
