Fondant A Lorange Orange Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the sugar and butter together until creamy. Beat in the eggs. Sift the flour and baking powder over the mixture and fold them in lightly.
• Grate the zest of the orange and squeeze out the juice. Stir zest, juice, and Cointreau into the batter. Then grease a 5-cup bread pan and spoon in the batter. Knock the pan against the countertop to settle the contents. Bake for about 50 minutes, until the cake is firm but bouncy to the touch and the blade of a knife inserted into it comes out clean. Leave it to cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then unmold onto a dish.
• Meanwhile, prepare the glazing. In a small saucepan, gently warm the orange juice and Cointreau. Stir in the confectioners' sugar.
• Using a pastry brush, paint the glaze over the cake--some of the glaze will seep in, the rest will form a light crust. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Whisk sugar with orange zest and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter and flour your cake pan.
• Wash oranges thoroughly to remove pesticide and wax residue. Slice tops and bottoms off of the oranges to remove the thickest part of the skin and discard. Chop oranges into chunks and discard the seeds. In a food processor, process the oranges into a chunky puree. Add the olive oil slowly and continue to process until it is well blended.
• In a bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs thoroughly and gradually add sugar until mixture is thick and lemon-colored. Add vanilla and optional almond extract.
• Fold about a third of the flour mixture into the eggs and beat until mixed. Fold in about a third of the orange mixture and beat. Continue to add flour and orange mixture until everything is combined. You'll have a chunky batter.
• Pour batter into cake pan. Bake for 60 minutes or until cake is brown on top and has pulled away from the sides of the pan.
• Let cake cool. If you used a spring form pan, remove the sides. If not, then let cool for five minutes then remove from the pan and allow it to finish cooling. After it has completely cooled, dust with powdered sugar.
