Sunset Magazines Whole Orange Cake Recipes

SUNSET MAGAZINE'S WHOLE ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Coat a 10-cup Bundt pan with butter. I don't have a bundt pan anymore and used a tube pan instead.
• In a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed, beat butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs (and almond extract if using.) Note: I used my KitchenAid stand up mixer to prep the batter.
• Whirl orange chunks in a food processor until mostly smooth but not puréed. Add the orange chunks to the batter and beat until blended.
• Add flour, salt, (cardamom if using), baking soda, and baking powder to bowl and beat until smooth. Spread batter in prepared pan.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs clinging to it, about 55 minutes. Cool pan on a rack 10 minutes, then invert cake onto rack and let cool completely.
• Whisk together powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl. Stir in orange blossom water if using. Drizzle over cooled cake.
• Let glaze set (garnish with toasted almonds if using) and the orange zest, then slice cake.
