SPICED CAKE WITH ALMONDS AND CARAMELIZED ORANGES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat 2 (8-inch) cake pans with cooking spray. Set aside.
- To make the cake, in a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, yogurt, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Turn batter into prepared caked pans and bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until tester inserted into center comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes and then turn onto wire racks to cool completely. Cut a thin layer off the top of each cake to make level.
- To make the caramelized oranges, in a large frying pan, combine orange juice, sugar and cinnamon. Bring mixture to a boil for 5 minutes. Add orange slices and continue boiling for an additional 5 minutes. With tongs, carefully remove caramelized oranges and place on waxed paper to cool.
- For the Cheese Frosting: In a small bowl, combine cream cheese frosting, cinnamon and cinnamon extract.
- To assemble: Frost cake with a thin layer of frosting between layers and on the outside. Gently press toasted sliced almond onto side of cake. Arrange caramelized orange slices on top of cake.

Steps:
- Working Ahead: The sauce can be made several hours ahead, covered and set aside at room temperature. Reheat to bubbling before adding the pasta. 1. Making the Sauce: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Use a wooden spatula to stir in about l/4 cup of the orange juice and the 2/3 cup of sugar. Melt sugar in the butter over medium heat, stirring in spoonfuls of orange juice frequently to keep the sauce from crystallizing (reserve about l/3 cup orange juice for finishing the sauce). Once sugar is dissolved, heat can be turned up to medium high or high. Stir occasionally as the mixture bubbles and slowly turns amber. When mixture becomes deep golden amber, stir in the pepper and two-thirds of the orange zest. Cook only a second or two to protect rind from burning. Then step back from the skillet and pour in the last 1/3 cup of orange juice at arm's length. It will bubble up and possibly spatter, then it will thin the sauce to ideal consistency. Turn off the heat. If making ahead, remove the pan from the heat, cool and cover. 2. Cooking the Pasta: Have a large platter and dinner or dessert dishes warming in a low oven. If serving with the capon, have it ready to serve. Make sure pasta water is at a fierce boil. Drop in the pasta and cook until tender but still resistant to the bite. Drain in a colander. Reheat the sauce to a lively bubble. Add the pasta to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly. Turn onto the heated platter, and sprinkle with the remaining sugar, cinnamon, cheese, almonds, and lastly, the remaining orange rind. Place the capon atop the pasta and serve. Carve the bird at the table. Spoon a small mound of pasta onto each dinner plate and top it with slices of capon. If serving pasta as a dessert, mound small portions on heated dessert plates and serve hot.

Another splendid recipe from Ontario's Liquor Control Board. This reads long ... but is essentialy only 2 steps ... is easy to prepare in advance ... and each orange looks wonderful in its own glass dessert bowl. (I did this with clemantines and served them with a dollop of whipped cream on the side.)

Tips:
- To save time, use store-bought tagliatelle pasta. If you have a pasta maker, you can make your own fresh tagliatelle.
- For the best flavor, use fresh oranges. If you only have access to navel oranges, you can use them, but they will be slightly less sweet.
- Be careful not to overcook the oranges. They should be caramelized, but not burnt.
- If you don't have any orange liqueur, you can substitute another type of liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau.
- Toasted almonds add a nice crunch to the dish. You can toast them in a pan on the stovetop or in the oven.
- This dish is best served immediately. However, you can make the caramelized oranges and almonds ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator.
Conclusion:
Tagliatelle with Caramelized Oranges and Almonds is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of sweet oranges, nutty almonds, and creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also relatively easy to make, so it's a great option for busy weeknights.
