Orange Whipped Cream Cake Recipes

ORANGE SPONGE CAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Separate 5 eggs, adding the yolks to a large bowl (use a stand mixer bowl if you have one) and adding the whites to a large stainless mixing bowl. (To prevent any goofs, it helps to first use two small bowls, adding one egg white at a time to one, and one yolk at a time to the other, then pouring those into your larger bowls as you go. If you get any yolk in your egg white, you can start over with another egg.) Wash your hands after touching raw eggs.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour two, 9-inch, round cake pans.
• Rinse an orange and dry it. Grate 1 tablespoon of orange zest and set it aside. Squeeze two tablespoons of orange juice and add them to your bowl with the egg yolks. Add 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, the lemon extract, and salt to your egg yolks. Beat the egg yolk mixture for 10 minutes on medium-high speed, until it is very thick and lemon-colored. (If you have a stand mixer, use it.)
• If you also have a hand mixer, you can make your meringue while the stand mixer beats the egg yolks. If not, just wait until the egg yolk mixture is done. To make the meringue, using clean beaters, beat the five egg whites and gradually add in the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, beating well after each addition. Beat until soft, rounded peaks form. (It will take several minutes. The peaks will turn over slightly when the beater is slowly lifted out of the meringue.)
• Gently spread your egg yolk mixture over your beaten egg whites, and gently fold them together, (use an under-and-over motion with your spatula.) Sift your flour into a small bowl (if you have a fine mesh strainer, you can use that to sift). Gradually add the sifted flour to the batter (add 1/4 cup of flour at a time), gently folding in the flour as you go.
• Transfer your cake batter to the two cake pans, distributing it evenly and smoothing the tops with your spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes on the center rack (they both should fit diagonally), or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake layers by standing them up on a clean towel and letting them lean on a wire rack against your counter's back splash wall. Turn the pans counter-clockwise occasionally, as the cakes pull away from the edges of the pans.
• While the cake layers are cooling, make your filling. Squeeze 3/4 cup of orange juice and whisk it with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the 1 tablespoon of orange zest. Set that aside.
• Separate two eggs, placing the egg whites in a clean and dry medium, stainless bowl. (You won't need the two egg yolks but can refrigerate them for another use.) Using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until frothy, then gradually add in 1/4 cup granulated sugar, beating well after each addition. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks (not dry) are formed. (It will take several minutes. The peaks will remain standing when the beater is slowly lifted out of the meringue.) Add the orange juice mixture to the meringue and gently fold it in until you no longer see any liquid.
• When the cake layers have cooled, loosen them from the pans (run a knife around the edges of the pans if you need to). Place a dinner plate over each cake layer and invert one cake layer onto each plate. Carefully turn over each cake layer until the rounded side is up. Gently spread the orange meringue filling over the surface of each cake layer, starting in the center and being careful not to let the filling run over the sides. Try to use an equal amount of filling on each layer. Wash and dry your cake pans and use them to cover each plate. Place the covered cake layers in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 10 hours.
• The next day (or after 10 hours), the filling should mostly be absorbed into the cake layers. Make your whipped cream an hour before serving the cake. In a large, stainless mixing bowl and using clean beaters, beat your cream, confectioners sugar and vanilla. Beat until the mixture forms the consistency of whipped cream.
• To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on your serving dish, with the filling side on top. Gently spread whipped cream over the cake's surface. Place the other cake layer on top, keeping the filling side up. Frost the top and sides of the cake, making swirls if you wish. Decorate with orange slices, if desired.

ORANGE WHIPPED CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Special EquipmentOne 10-cup fluted metal tube pan, coated with baking spray with flourPreheat the OvenTwenty minutes or more before baking, set an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C (350°F/175°C if using a dark pan).Mix the Dry IngredientsIn a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt and then sift them together to make the mixture easier to incorporate.Mix the Liquid IngredientsIn the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk beater, whip the cream, starting on low speed, gradually raising the speed to medium-high as it thickens, until stiff peaks form when the beater is raised.In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla just until lightly combined. On medium-high speed, gradually beat the egg mixture into the whipped cream. The mixture will thicken into mayonnaise consistency (unless high-butterfat cream is used). Gradually beat in the sugar. It should take about 30 seconds to incorporate it.Make the BatterAdd half the flour mixture to the cream mixture and, with a large silicone spatula, stir and fold in the flour until most of it disappears. Add the rest of the flour mixture and continue folding and mixing until all traces of flour have disappeared. Using a silicone spatula or spoon, scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Run a small metal spatula or dull knife blade through the batter to prevent large air bubbles, avoiding the bottom of the pan. Smooth the surface evenly with a small metal spatula.Bake the CakeBake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted between the tube and the side comes out completely clean and the cake springs back when pressed lightly in the center. The cake should start to shrink from the sides of the pan only after removal from the oven.Cool and Unmold the CakeLet the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. With a small metal spatula, loosen the top edges of the cake and invert the cake onto a wire rack that has been coated lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Cool completely. The cake requires no adornment, but I love to serve it with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a large dollop of lightly sweetened Whipped Cream (page 115).
