ORANGE-ALMOND CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING RECIPE



Orange-Almond Cake with Chocolate Icing Recipe image

I love the taste of Chocolate covered orange candy so I worked to come up with a cake reflecting those flavors. I love the texture the almonds give this cake. It's always a hit at potlucks. I have made it as a layer cake, Bundt cake or cup cakes. Enjoy.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes one 8-inch two-layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for pans
1 1/2 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising), plus more for pans
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
6 large eggs, separated
Grated zest of 2 oranges
2/3 cup strained, freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 1/2 cups finely ground blanched almonds
Pinch of salt
Martha's Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 8-inch round cake pans and line with parchment paper. Butter parchment and flour cake pans; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together 1 cup of sugar and egg yolks until light and fluffy. Add orange zest, juice, and almond extract; mix until well combined. Turn mixer off. Remove the whisk and add the paddle attachment. With the mixer on medium, slowly add ground almonds, followed by flour; mix cake batter until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form. Add salt and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar; beat until stiff but not dry. Set aside.
  • Fold melted butter into cake batter, a little at a time. Gently fold in egg white mixture, taking care not to deflate whites. Divide batter evenly between prepared cake pans. Transfer to oven and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer cake layers to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Invert cakes to remove from pan and remove parchment paper; reinvert cakes. Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes to make level. Place four strips of parchment paper around perimeter of a serving plate or lazy Susan. Place the first layer on the cake plate. Spread frosting over the first layer with a small offset spatula so it extends just beyond edges.
  • Place the remaining layer on top, bottom-side up. Gently sweep away any loose crumbs with a pastry brush. Using an offset spatula, cover the top and sides with a thin layer of frosting (also use any of the excess frosting visible between the layers). Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
  • Using an offset spatula, cover cake again with remaining frosting.
