Orange And Olive Oil Cake Using Whole Oranges Recipes

ORANGE OLIVE OIL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Invert the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan (to make it easier to slide the cake off the bottom, then lock on the sides of the pan. Lightly grease and flour the bottom and sides of the pan. Place foil or a baking sheet below the oven rack to catch drips if your springform pan doesn't seal well.
• In a small bowl combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
• Fit a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whip the eggs on medium speed until foamy. Add the granulated sugar and orange zest and whip on high speed until the mixture is fluffy and pale in color, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium, and with the mixer running, slowly add the olive oil. Mix until the oil is completely incorporated.
• Add half the flour mixture and mix on low speed until blended. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the milk and orange juice and mix on low until blended. Add the remaining flour and mix just until incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle 2 tablespoons coarse sugar on top. Bake in preheated 325°F oven for 60-70 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached.
• Cool the cake on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before removing the sides. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm. Cool completely for clean slices.

ORANGE OLIVE OIL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F, add a circle of parchment paper to the base of a 9-inch springform pan, and spray the parchment paper and the sides of the pan very well with cooking spray; set aside. Do not make this cake in a regular 9-inch cake pan. Most are only about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep and this cake rises to about 2 1/2 to 3 inches on the sides and nearly 4 inches in the center. It will overflow in a regular 9-inch pan.
• To a large bowl, add the olive oil, eggs, and whisk well to emulsify and incorporate.
• Add the milk, orange zest, orange juice (I was able to get sufficient zest and juice from one large orange), Grand Marnier, and whisk to incorporate.
• Add the sugar and whisk to incorporate.
• Add the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and whisk until just incorporated; don't overmix. The batter in on the thin side; this is normal.
• Turn batter out into prepared pan, place pan on a baking sheet as insurance against a leaky springform pan, and bake for about 70 to 75 minutes. Start checking after 60 minutes since all ovens vary. Cake will be golden browned and domed in the center when done, and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. **
• Allow cake to cool in the springform pan for about 1 hour before releasing it and allowing the cake to finish cooling on a wire rack.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar prior to serving.

Add the flour mixture half at a time to the wet ingredients and mix on low just to incorporate. Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake, 25 to 30 minutes. Let the cake cool 15 minutes, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

ORANGE AND OLIVE OIL CAKE | USING WHOLE ORANGES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees C. Lightly grease a 9" springform (loose bottomed) round pan
• Wash the oranges thoroughly - do not peel them! Yes we will be using the whole fruit, peel and all, except the seeds! Cut off the top and bottom ends and discard. Chop up the rest of the fruit (if you are using the seeded variety, makes sure you remove the seeds).
• Pulse the chopped fruit in a blender or mixer grinder till it is thick and coarse and has some texture to it. Then add the olive oil and blend again till you get a fairly smooth mixture. Place the mixture in a mixing bowl.
• Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and add this in parts to the orange-olive oil mixture.
• In an another bowl beat the eggs till fluffy, then add in the sugar and beat some more.
• Gently add the egg mixture to the orange-flour mixture and fold until incorporated. Make sure that you neither beat the mixture nor mix vigorously or it will deflate the eggs and make the cake very dense.
• Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for about 50-60 minutes or till the skewer inserted comes out clean.
• Remove and cool the cake in its tin for 10 minutes, then gently invert onto a wire cooling rack till completely cooked.
• Dust with icing sugar, decorate with orange slices and serve!

ORANGE OLIVE OIL CAKE

Steps:

• Bring a pan of water to the boil. Lower the orange in and cover with a lid, leaving a gap so that a little steam can still escape. Boil gently for 30 mins, then remove from the water and allow to cool slightly. Quarter the orange and remove any pips, then transfer to a blender or food processor, add the lemon juice and zest and blitz to a smooth purée.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Oil the sides of a 23cm round cake tin and line the bottom of the tin with baking parchment.
• Sieve the almonds, polenta, baking powder and ½ tsp salt into a large bowl and mix together thoroughly. Whisk the eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until really pale and fluffy, about 4 mins. With the mixer still whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil in a steady stream so that the mixture doesn't split. Once incorporated, scrape in the orange purée and whisk to combine, then add the dry ingredients, combining until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake for 55 mins to 1 hr 5 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
• Cool in the tin on a wire rack while you make the syrup. Combine the sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, cardamom and 30ml water in a pan. Bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, then add the rosemary. Turn off the heat and infuse for at least 30 mins.
• Use a skewer to poke holes in the top of the cake, then pour over the syrup. Allow to settle for 5 mins or so, then slice and serve with some natural yogurt or crème fraîche, if you like.
