Versatile Go To Orange Vanilla Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake tin with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl. Add eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix by hand or use an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Add more flour if batter is too runny. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and let cool, 15 to 30 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill slightly, 15 to 30 minutes more. Slice the cooled cake through the middle to make 2 layers.

Steps:

• Butter an 8-inch springform pan. Cut a 7-by-26-inch piece of parchment paper; press the strip around the inside of the pan so it extends above the rim (this will allow you to build a tall cake). Lock the ring to secure the paper to the pan.
• Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the carton of mango ice cream in half with a serrated knife. Return one half to the freezer. Transfer the other half to a stand mixer and let soften slightly, then beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed until spreadable but not melted. Spread the ice cream evenly onto the crust with an offset spatula. Freeze until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Rinse out the bowl, then repeat step 3 with the vanilla ice cream, using half of the carton. Freeze the cake. When firm, repeat with the orange-vanilla ice cream, using half of the carton. Return to the freezer.
• Repeat the layers with the remaining mango, vanilla and orange-vanilla ice cream, making sure each layer is firm before adding the next. Freeze the ice cream cake until completely firm, at least 1 hour.
• Remove the springform ring and parchment. Cover the cake with whipped cream and freeze at least 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the sugar to a food processor and blend until the sugar is super fine, about 1 minute. Reserve half (about 3/4 cup) of the sugar and set aside.
• Add the cake flour, the remaining sugar (about 3/4 cup), and the salt to a medium bowl. Sift into another medium bowl. Sift the mixture back into the original bowl. This helps get rid of any lumps and creates a very fluffy light texture in the cake.
• In a large bowl, add the orange zest, cream of tartar and egg whites. Slice the vanilla bean in half, scrape the seeds out with a knife, and add the seeds to the bowl with the egg whites. Using a hand mixer, begin to beat the egg white mixture on medium-high speed. While mixing, slowly stream in the remaining sugar. Beat the mixture until it holds medium peaks, this could take up to 10 minutes.
• Set the mixer aside and sift a light dusting of the flour mixture on top of the egg white mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold the flour into the egg white mixture, this is done by slicing through the middle of the mixture and folding up and over along the side of the bowl to incorporate the flour. Keep sifting and folding until all the flour mixture has been incorporated.
• Carefully spoon the mixture into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Use a knife to swirl around the pan 2 times to release any unwanted air bubbles. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cool upside down on a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 1 hour before removing the cake from the pan and cooling completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour (not using the butter/flour called for in the recipe) two 8x2 inch cake pans, tapping out excess flour. In medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. With mixer on low, beat in eggs and yolks, one at a time. Beat in vanilla. Alternately beat in flour mixture and uttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture; mix just until combined.
• Divide batter between pans; smooth tops. Bake until cakes pull away from sides of pans, 32 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes. Run a knife around edges of pans and invert cakes onto a wire rack. Let cool completely.
• Place one cake bottom side up on a cake stand. Tuck strips of parchment paper underneath. Using an offset-spatula or table knife, spread top with Whipped Frosting. Top with remaining cake; frost top, then sides. (Store unfrosted cakes at room temperature up to 1 day Once frosted, serve within a few hours.).
