Fresh Orange Pound Cakes With An Orange Glaze Recipes

ORANGE POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Grease a 1 pound loaf pan and preheat oven to 300°F.
• In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat butter until light in color and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
• Gradually incorporate sugar.
• Add eggs one at a time on low. Scrape the bowl down, if needed.
• Alternate adding flour and milk until just incorporated. Add orange zest.
• Pour batter into loaf pan. Bake 1 hour 20 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
• Allow cake to cool on wire rack. Invert to release.

THE BEST ORANGE POUND CAKE WITH GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Add the softened butter and sugar to a stand mixer and cream it together using a paddle attachment on medium high speed. (Or use a hand mixer with a whisk attachment). Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved as there should be no granules. Take your time with this step.
• Add the eggs one at a time while mixing on medium low speed. Add the next egg only when the previous egg has been completely incorporated. This helps prevent any separation between the eggs and butter. Keep mixing until the color turns pale yellow and becomes fluffy.
• Sift the flour, milk powder, and baking powder together. Add them into the batter and fold it in until it's combined.
• Next, zest a large orange and chop up the orange segments into pieces. Gently fold the zest and orange pieces into the batter.
• Pour the batter into a loaf pan, and using a spatula create a well in the center. This will help the pound cake rise fully. (Optional: top with 3 to 4 thin slices of orange, about ⅛ inch thick. See Note 2.) If using a non-coated pan, line your pan with parchment paper or butter the insides. Non-stick pans should be fine as the amount of butter in the batter should help it release.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for the first 10 minutes. Then lower the heat to 338 degrees F and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

SIMPLE ORANGE GLAZE

• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the top of the cake domes and are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Unmold the cakes onto wire racks.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and orange juice together. Whisk until smooth. Place the wire racks over a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.

ORANGE POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a standard 10-15 cup bundt pan, or spray with baking spray. Set aside.
• In a medium size mixing bowl, use a whisk to sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, cream together butter, 2 1/2 cups sugar and vanilla for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add zest, beating until combined.
• Mix together 1/2 cup orange juice with milk. Lower the speed of the mixer and add alternately with dry ingredients, beginning and ending with flour. Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl periodically.
• Spread batter evenly in pan. Place into oven and bake for 75-80 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes back clean. Check halfway through baking and lay foil on top to prevent over browning, if needed.
• To make orange syrup: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, mix together remaining 1/2 cup sugar with 1/2 cup orange juice. Simmer over medium heat just until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
• When cake is finished baking, use a long skewer to poke holes in the cake. Spoon glaze over cake allowing to sink into warm cake. Cool cake completely in pan.
• To make glaze: In a small bowl mix together powdered sugar, orange juice and zest until fully combined. Turn cake onto a platter or cake stand. Drizzle over cooled cake.
• Store cake in an airtight container chilled or at room temperature.

ORANGE SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease a loaf pan with butter and add a piece of parchment paper along the bottom and up two of the sides for easy removal. Grease the parchment paper as well, just to be sure nothing sticks.
• Add the butter to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on high speed until the butter becomes pale in colour (about 4-5 minutes).
• Add the sugar and beat on high speed until the mixture is extra light and fluffy (about 7-10 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl every few minutes). The mixture should turn a very pale yellow colour and be quite fluffy after 7 minutes.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time and continue beating on high speed for about 5-6 minutes after they've all been added to incorporate even more air into the batter.
• Add the sour cream and the vanilla to the bowl and beat for another minute or so, scraping down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.
• Add the orange zest and beat on high speed until combined.
• Add the flour and salt to the mixing bowl and fold it into the wet ingredients by hand using a rubber spatula. Be sure to do this carefully so you don't deflate the batter as the flour is incorporated. Folding requires that you scrape the bottom of the bowl and use an "up and over" motion. Do not stir, as this will break the air bubbles you've created by beating the ingredients up until this point. This cake contains no leavening agent, so the bubbles in the batter are what will keep it from sinking in the middle as it bakes.
• Carefully scrape the batter into the loaf pan you've prepared.
• Bake for 65-75 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit. After 65 minutes, test the cake by gently inserting a wooden skewer in the centre. If it comes out clean, it's done! If not, return the cake to the oven for another 5 minutes and test again.
• When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest in the pan for about 10 minutes.
• Remove it from the loaf pan using the parchment paper to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
• Whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice and zest until the desired consistency is reached. It should be thick, but easy to drizzle. If necessary, add a bit more powdered sugar or orange juice (1/2 teaspoon at a time) until the desired consistency is reached.
• Drizzle the glaze over the cake once it has cooled completely and decorate with a few orange slices.
• Slice and serve .
