Orange Sweet Potato Pound Cake Worange Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grease 24 (1/2 cup) mini bundt pans (2 pans of 12 mini bundt tins). In an electric mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar. Beat until smooth.
• Add the eggs and yolks, 1 at a time, and continue to beat until incorporated. Add the orange zest and vanilla. Add the flour and salt, 1/2 cup at a time until the batter is smooth. Spoon 1/3 cup of the batter into the prepared pans.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the top of the cake domes and are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Unmold the cakes onto wire racks.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and orange juice together. Whisk until smooth. Place the wire racks over a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the glaze over each cake. Sprinkle the top of each cake with the almonds. Cool the cakes to room temperature. Place the cakes on a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR DURING FIRST HOUR OF BAKING. These are the spices, butter, eggs and sugars & orange needed to make the cake.
• 2. Additional extract ingredients & nuts used for the cake. I also used Buttermilk baking soda and self rising white lily flour.
• 3. I baked the sweet potatoes in the oven then whipped them till smooth and stored them in the fridge in a zip lock bag. I used Tropicana Orange juice.
• 4. Add flour to a sifter, and add in the salt, spices & baking soda and sift to blend together.
• 5. Cream butter till soft and creamy, then gradually add in both sugars, beating well after each addition is added. Beat until creamy and smooth and no granules are visible, about 10 minutes.
• 6. Add in the eggs one at a time. Then slowly add in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk.
• 7. In a medium size bowl add the beaten sweet potatoes along with the zest from one orange, and the orange juice, then beat till thoroughly blended together, then add to cake batter. Then add in the chopped nuts, and beat till blended.
• 8. Spray a 16 cup Bundt pan liberally with Bakers Joy, and then pour cake batter into pan, Garnish top with pecan halves if desired, and bake in preheated 325 degree F. oven for 90 minutes or until long wooden skewer inserted into center of cake comes out clean. PLEASE NOTE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A 16 CUP BUNDT PAN, USE 2 SMALLER PANS. The pan in the picture is a 12 cup, but I added the remaining batter to a 3 cup Bundt pan. Did not realize the amount of batter I had until AFTER I had added it to the pan. REMEMBER TO LEAVE ROOM IN PAN FOR CAKE TO RISE AT LEAST 2 INCHES.
• 9. For the glaze add the softened butter to a medium size bowl, along with the orange extract, and about 2 tablespoons of the orange juice, then beat till glaze is blended together. Add additional orange juice as needed till desired spreading consistency is reached. Drizzle onto cooled cake as desired, and top with additional pecan halves if desired. Serve and enjoy.
