Triple Orange Angel Food Cake Recipes

ORANGE CREAM ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Move oven rack to lowest position (remove other racks). Heat oven to 350°F. In extra-large glass or metal bowl, beat cake mix and cold water with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 1 minute. Pour into ungreased 10-inch angel food (tube) cake pan. (Do not use fluted tube cake pan or 9-inch angel food pan or batter will overflow.)
• Bake 37 to 47 minutes or until top is dark golden brown and cracks feel very dry and are not sticky. Do not underbake. Immediately turn pan upside down onto glass bottle until cake is completely cool, about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, beat egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, orange juice and salt with wire whisk until blended. Add butter; cook 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently, until boiling. Boil 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and mixture coats the back of a spoon. Immediately pour orange mixture (orange curd) through fine-mesh strainer into medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing wrap directly onto surface of orange curd. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until completely chilled.
• In medium bowl, beat whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream and grated orange peel into orange curd.
• On serving plate, place cake with browned side down. Cut off top 1/3 of cake, using long, sharp knife; set aside. Scoop out 1-inch-wide and 1-inch-deep tunnel around cake. Set aside scooped-out cake for another use. Spoon 1 1/3 cups orange cream into tunnel. Replace top of cake to seal filling. Frost top and side of cake with remaining orange cream. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with orange twists. Store covered in refrigerator.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE AND BERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• Add the berries to a bowl along with the sugar and orange juice. Let sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, until juicy.
• Meanwhile, add the yogurt and honey to a bowl. Stir with a spoon to mix in the honey and smooth out so the mixture will be more spreadable.
• Cut the angel food cake into large chunks using a serrated knife, and add about one-third of the cake to the bottom of a medium trifle dish. Add a layer of the syrupy berries and then a layer of yogurt, reserving a few spoonfuls of yogurt for the end. Repeat the layers until you have no more remaining ingredients. Finish the top with the few spoonfuls of yogurt in the center and the fresh, whole strawberries.
• Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

ORANGE VANILLA BEAN ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the sugar to a food processor and blend until the sugar is super fine, about 1 minute. Reserve half (about 3/4 cup) of the sugar and set aside.
• Add the cake flour, the remaining sugar (about 3/4 cup), and the salt to a medium bowl. Sift into another medium bowl. Sift the mixture back into the original bowl. This helps get rid of any lumps and creates a very fluffy light texture in the cake.
• In a large bowl, add the orange zest, cream of tartar and egg whites. Slice the vanilla bean in half, scrape the seeds out with a knife, and add the seeds to the bowl with the egg whites. Using a hand mixer, begin to beat the egg white mixture on medium-high speed. While mixing, slowly stream in the remaining sugar. Beat the mixture until it holds medium peaks, this could take up to 10 minutes.
• Set the mixer aside and sift a light dusting of the flour mixture on top of the egg white mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold the flour into the egg white mixture, this is done by slicing through the middle of the mixture and folding up and over along the side of the bowl to incorporate the flour. Keep sifting and folding until all the flour mixture has been incorporated.
• Carefully spoon the mixture into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Use a knife to swirl around the pan 2 times to release any unwanted air bubbles. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cool upside down on a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 1 hour before removing the cake from the pan and cooling completely.

Steps:

With the mixer running, gradually add 1 cup of the sugar and continue whipping until stiff and the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds.
• Sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the pre-sifted cake flour 3 times, to aerate the mixture. Fold into the egg whites, then fold in the vanilla, and zest.
• Spoon the batter into ungreased mini tube pans. Bake until light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool by turning the cake (in the pan) upside down until it cools to room temperature. Run a long, sharp knife blade around the cakes to loosen, then knock the cakes out onto a plate, or work them out with your fingers. The outside of the cake will remain in the pan leaving the cake whiter and more angelic looking.
• Make the glaze: Stir the ingredients together until smooth. Dip the tops of the cakes in the glaze. Let set for at least 30 minutes before serving, or until the icing is hard. Serve with sorbet.
