How to Make an Orange Cake
How to Make an Orange Cake
Ingredients:
2/3 cup granulated sugar
4 egg yolks
Grated rind of 1 orange
1/3 cup strained orange juice
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup cake flour
4 egg whites
Pinch of salt
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
Method
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9" round cake pan and measure out all ingredients.
2. Gradually beat the sugar into the egg yolks and continue beating until the mixture thickens to form a ribbon when the beaters are lifted. Add the grated orange peel, orange juice and salt. Beat for a minute or two until the mixture is light and foamy. Then beat in the flour.
3. Beat the egg whites and salt together in a separate bowl until soft peaks are formed. Sprinkle on the sugar and beat until stiff peaks are formed. Stir 1/4 of the egg whites into the batter; delicately fold in the rest. Immediately turn into prepared cake pan and run the batter up to the rim all around. 4. Bake in middle position of preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Cake is done when it has puffed and browned, and shows a faint line of shrinkage from the edge of the pan.
5. Let cool for 6-8 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and reverse cake on a rack. 6. Allow to cool for an hour or two. When cake is cold, you can sprinkle it with icing sugar or powdered sugar.
