TANGERINE CAKE WITH CITRUS GLAZE



Tangerine Cake with Citrus Glaze image

Tangerine juice adds zest to the batter and glaze of this festive Bundt cake. Thin skins make tangerines a breeze to squeeze by hand. For smooth, pulp-free juice (great in this glaze), strain juice through a fine-mesh sieve before using.

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons finely grated tangerine zest, plus 1/2 cup tangerine juice (from 6 tangerines)
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
3/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons tangerine juice (from 2 tangerines)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make cake: Butter and flour a 12-cup Bundt cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy, 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in tangerine zest and juice and liqueur. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions yogurt, and beat to combine; beat in vanilla. Transfer batter to pan, smooth top, and firmly tap pan on a flat surface to remove air bubbles.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack, 30 minutes. Invert cake onto rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and let cool completely. (With a serrated knife, trim cake to sit flat, if necessary.)

CHOCOLATE SNACKING CAKE WITH TANGERINE GLAZE



Chocolate Snacking Cake With Tangerine Glaze image

This moist, darkly bittersweet snacking cake is easily mixed with a whisk. Using a neutral oil rather than butter allows the chocolate flavor to shine, and gives the crumb an especially velvety texture under a sweet-tart glaze. You can use any kind of orange for the topping. Tangerines and mandarins (including clementines) are bright and spicy, but regular navel or juice oranges work just as well. Or if you can find blood oranges, the glaze will take on a pinkish hue and a sweeter, richer flavor.

Categories     snack, cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/3 cup/80 milliliters neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola, plus more for pan
3/4 cup/95 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/50 grams Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 ounces/60 grams chopped dark chocolate (about 1/3 cup)
1/2 cup/120 milliliters hot coffee
3/4 cup/155 grams light brown sugar
1/3 cup/80 milliliters sour cream
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tablespoon finely grated tangerine zest
1 tablespoon tangerine juice
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup/115 grams confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-9-inch pan and line with parchment paper, letting the two long edges hang over the sides by at least 2 inches.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • In a heatproof bowl, melt chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Or you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water on the stove, stirring well. Whisk in hot coffee.
  • Whisk together flour mixture, coffee-chocolate mixture, brown sugar, sour cream, oil, eggs and vanilla. Scrape into baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until the top is springy and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool completely before glazing.
  • When cake is cool, make the glaze: Whisk together tangerine zest, tangerine juice and lemon juice, then whisk in confectioners' sugar. Taste, and if it's too sweet, add another drop or two of lemon juice. Pour glaze onto cooled cake, and spread to the edges. Let glaze set for at least 30 minutes before serving.

TANGERINE ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH TANGERINE GLAZE



Tangerine Angel Food Cake with Tangerine Glaze image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/8 cups sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tangerine, grated zest
Tangerine glaze, recipe follows
1/4 cup freshly squeezed tangerine juice
1 tablespoon egg whites
8 ounces confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until white and foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft, droopy peaks form. Still whipping, add 1 cup of the sugar in a thin stream and whip until stiff and glossy. Sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the flour together 3 times to aerate and lighten the mixture. Work quickly so the egg white does not deflate (or sift through a strainer onto a sheet of waxed paper). Fold into egg whites 1/3 at a time. Fold in the vanilla and tangerine zest. Gently spoon the mixture into an ungreased tube pan. Smooth the top and bake 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Remove cake from oven and turn the pan upside down and hang it around the neck of a wine bottle to cool to room temperature. Slide a butter knife around the sides of the pan and put a serving plate on top. Turn over and knock the cake out onto the plate. (The browned crust of the cake will stick to the pan.) When the cake has cooled thoroughly, make the glaze and drizzle the glaze evenly over the cake. Let set in a cool place.
  • Glaze: Whisk together the tangerine juice and egg whites, then add the confectioners' sugar and stir until smooth.

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 sticks unsalted butter, softened
3 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs
8 oz sour cream, or cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon orange extract
3 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
5 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 lemon, zested
1 lime, zested
1 orange, zested
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Shake and drop the pan onto the counter a couple times to release any air bubbles. Transfer to the oven and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, ensure all your ingredients and equipment are ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent scrambling for ingredients while baking.
  • Use ripe citrus: The riper the citrus, the more flavorful your cake and glaze will be. Look for oranges and tangerines that are heavy for their size and have bright, unblemished skin.
  • Zest the citrus zest finely: Finely zesting the citrus will help release the oils and flavors into your cake and glaze. Use a microplane or fine grater for the best results.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This step is essential for incorporating air into the cake batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake. Cream the butter and sugar for at least 2-3 minutes until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: Adding the eggs one at a time helps prevent the batter from curdling. Beat each egg into the batter until it is fully incorporated before adding the next one.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Baking time may vary depending on the size and shape of your cake pan. Keep a close eye on the cake and check it a few minutes before the recommended baking time.
  • Make the glaze while the cake is baking: This will give the glaze time to cool slightly before pouring it over the cake.
  • Pour the glaze over the warm cake: The warm cake will help the glaze soak in and create a beautiful, glossy finish.

Conclusion:

This tangerine cake with citrus glaze is a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and tangy citrus flavors is sure to please everyone. The cake is moist and tender, and the glaze adds a beautiful finishing touch. With its vibrant color and delicious flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
