Orange Cake With Orange Filling And Orange Buttercream Frosting Recipes

GRANDMA'S ORANGE CAKE WITH ORANGE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• For the Cake
• Preheat oven to 350° F
• Place Flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, egg and oranges in a large bowl.
• Beat with an electric mixer until everything is well combined and you see no large pieces of orange remaining.
• Pour into a greased 9 inch cake pan.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cake is done when a knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (no batter sticking to it).
• Place cake on wire rack to cool. Cake should be room temperature before you frost it.
• For the Frosting
• Place butter, orange zest and about 1/4 of the powdered sugar in a medium bowl.
• Beat with the whisk/whip attachment of an electric mixer until well combined.
• Alternate adding small amounts of the remaining sugar and orange juice slowly, mixing in between each addition. Continue until all of the sugar and juice have been added. Continue beating with the mixer until the frosting is light and fluffy.
• Spread the icing over your cake with a spatula or apply with a piping bag.

ORANGE CAKE WITH ORANGE BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Grease and line 2 x 22-23-cm cake tins with baking paper.
• Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and castor sugar for 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring that each is fully incorporated before the next addition. Add the orange zest and vanilla extract. Continue to whip until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt.
• Add the flour and milk to the creamed butter and sugar in 3 parts. Be careful not to overmix. Divide the cake mixture evenly between the 2 tins, then bake for 30-35 minutes. The cakes should be springy to the touch, and a knife inserted into the centre should come out clean. Leave to cool in the tins.
• Put all the buttercream icing ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until pale and fluffy. Use a third of the icing to sandwich the two cake layers together, and the remainder to ice the top and sides. Decorate with zested orange peel if desired.
