Honey Cake With Orange Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine sugar, honey, oil, eggs and orange zest. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the orange juice, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl blend cake mix, sugar, orange peel, nutmeg, water, 1/4 c frozen orange juice, cream cheese, and eggs. Beat for two minutes at the highest speed.
• 2. Pour batter into a greased and floured (12 cup) Bundt pan.
• 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until cake tests done.
• 4. While the cake is baking prepare glaze/topping. In a saucepan add sugar, honey, water, and orange juice. Boil for 2 minutes. Let cool until the cake is done.
• 5. When the cake is removed from the oven, pour the cooled glaze over the cake. Let cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes.
• 6. When cool turn the cake onto a serving plate.

Steps:

• For cake:
• Heat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Generously spray pan, including center tube, with baking spray.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder and soda, salt, and spices in a large bowl.
• Whisk eggs well in another large bowl and whisk in sugar, oil, honey, coffee, and zest until well combined.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the honey mixture, then stir with the whisk until the batter is smooth.
• Pour batter into pan (it's liquid enough to level itself in the pan), and bake in oven until springy to the touch and a cake tester comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Let cake cool in the pan on a rack for 20 minutes.
• Loosen cake from the pan with a thin rubber spatula, then invert cake onto the rack (see Cooks' Notes) and cool completely.
• For glaze:
• Bring coconut milk and corn syrup to a simmer in a small heavy pan, stirring until combined.
• Remove pan from heat and add chocolate. Let chocolate stand 1 minute, then stir until chocolate is melted and glaze is smooth.
• Let glaze stand, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, but still pourable.
• Transfer cake to a cake plate and slowly pour the chocolate glaze over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. If desired, let the cake stand at room temperature until glaze is set.
• Just before serving, sprinkle glaze lightly with flaky sea salt, if using.

Steps:

• For Cake:
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottom of 10-inch-diameter springform pan with foil; brush foil with oil. Cut cardboard into 9-inch round. Wrap with foil.
• Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt in large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and beat until stiff glossy peaks form. In another large bowl, beat egg yolks, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, vegetable oil, orange juice concentrate, orange peel and lemon juice until blended. Sift cake meal and potato starch over yolk mixture and beat at low speed just until blended. Gently fold whites into yolk mixture in 2 additions.
• Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)
• For Glaze:
• Melt margarine in heavy large saucepan over low heat. Add chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Mix in orange juice concentrate and honey. Let cool until thickened but still spreadable, about 2 hours.
• Cut around pan sides to loosen cake. Release sides. Cut cake in half horizontally, leaving cake bottom on pan bottom. Place top half of cake, top side down, on foil-wrapped cardboard round. Spread 1 1/3 cups chocolate glaze over. Place bottom half of cake, pan side up, onto glaze. Remove pan bottom; peel off foil. Spread 1 cup chocolate glaze in thin layer over entire cake, anchoring crumbs. Refrigerate cake 30 minutes.
• Rewarm remaining chocolate glaze over very low heat until just pourable. Place rack on baking sheet; place cake on rack. Pour glaze over cake, coating entirely and smoothing sides with metal spatula. Chill cake on rack until glaze is firm. Transfer to platter. (Reserve glaze on sheet for another use.) (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before servings.)
• Garnish cake with flowers and orange peel strips if desired.
