Gluten Free Orange Cake Recipes

GLUTEN FREE ORANGE CAKE (SICILIAN WHOLE ORANGE CAKE)

Steps:

• Prepare an 8″ springform pan by spraying with oil (or butter) and lining in parchment paper (sides optional, if you want really clean sides), then spray the paper, too.
• Place the sugar and eggs in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until light and fluffy.
• Mix the gluten free flour with the rice flour, Paneangeli powder (or baking powder) and xanthan gum. Add to the mixture in the bowl a little at a time along with the softened butter. Continue to mix until completely blended, then mix in the softened cream cheese.
• In a food processor, process the whole orange until it is almost pureed.
• Add this orange to the cake mixture and stir until evenly combined, then put the batter into the prepared tin.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes (depending on your oven), but test with a cake tester or skewer to make sure the orange cake is done before removing from the oven. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes, then remove the side of the springform pan.

GLUTEN FREE ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 170 C (340 F) standard / 150 C (300 F) fan-forced. Grease and line a 9 by 5 loaf pan with baking or parchment paper, ensuring two sides overhang.
• In a large mixing bowl, add butter, sugar and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined and then turn speed up to medium and beat for a further 1-2 minutes or until butter turns pale, creamy and almost fluffy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, and beat briefly to combine - don't worry if the mixture goes a little bit lumpy at this stage - then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add flour, almond meal, baking powder, salt and orange zest. Start to mix together on a low speed. Add orange juice and milk. Continue to mix until the cake batter is smooth and creamy (but try not to over mix).
• Pour cake batter into your prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for approximately 60-65 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. If your cake is very brown after 55 minutes, loosely cover the top with aluminum foil.

GLUTEN FREE ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• You would think to leave making the syrup til last but trust me - DO IT FIRST! In order to get that real gorgeous syrupy thickness, the sugar will take a good while to get to that stage during boiling! Now, to make your syrup, add the orange zest, juice and sugar into a saucepan with 500ml of water and bring slowly to simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cinnamon slowly as you do (personally it's always best to add very little each time, unless you're an ultra lover of cinnamon you do want to catch that tangyness of the orange as well to it!) Turn the heat up briefly to get it boiling, then immediately reduce the heat right down and stir until syrupy.

GLUTEN-FREE ORANGE ALMOND CAKE WITH ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10 inch springform pan with cooking spray, and dust with rice flour.
• In a large bowl, whip egg yolks with 2/3 cup of sugar until thick and pale using an electric mixer. This will take about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice flour and orange juice, then fold in the almond meal and cinnamon.
• In a separate glass or metal bowl, whip 3 egg whites until they can hold a stiff peak. Fold into the almond mixture until well blended. Pour into the prepared pan, and spread evenly.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Run a knife around the outer edge of the cake to help remove it from the pan.
• To make the orange sauce, cream together the butter and 2 cups of white sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in the cream, and place the dish over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir in orange juice and zest. Whip 4 egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Fold into the orange sauce. Spoon over the cake and serve immediately.
