Orange And Olive Oil Cake With Orange Marmalade Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
• Mix together the sugar and eggs in a medium bowl with a hand mixer on medium speed until blended and light. Drizzle in the olive oil and vanilla and mix until light and smooth. Add the orange juice and zest and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in another medium bowl. Add the flour mixture half at a time to the wet ingredients and mix on low just to incorporate. Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake, 25 to 30 minutes. Let the cake cool 15 minutes, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

Steps:

• Make the cake: Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the dry cake ingredients, including ground spices. In another bowl, whisk the oil, milk, eggs, rum, orange zest and juice until smooth.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. To prevent clumps, stir together starting from the center of the bowl, gradually drawing in the dry ingredients. Mix just until smooth. The batter will be thick. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the center of the oven for 1 hour, rotating after 30 minutes. When done, the cake will be just firm and dry on top and a tester inserted into the center will come out clean.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a measuring cup with a pouring spout, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons orange juice until smooth. The texture should be runny; add more orange juice if needed.
• Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn out. While it is still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top, making messy, Jackson Pollock-style zigzags by moving the cup back and forth over the cake. Let cool completely to set.

Steps:

• Start the marmalade by slicing the orange as thin as possible and then cutting each slice into quarters. Remove all the seeds and discard them.
• Place orange pieces along with water and lemon juice in a thick-bottomed pot and boil for 10 minutes. Then reduce to a simmer and leave for 40 minutes.
• Prep an 8-inch spring-form pan by rubbing with a little oil and sprinkling in some flour. Shake out the excess flour. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Zest and juice the oranges for the cake. You need 2/3 cup orange juice. If you have extra you can discard it or drink it. If you don't have enough you can add a bit of water to make up the difference.
• In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Then add the eggs, breaking the yolks with the spoon. Add the orange juice, zest, and olive oil and mix to combine, about 60 strokes.
• Pour batter into the spring-form pan and place inside a lasagna pan (in case some batter leaks out the bottom of the spring-form). Bake for about 40 minutes. The top should be browned and the sides should spring back when lightly poked with your finger. Don't poke the middle as it might collapse if it's not done enough.
• When your marmalade time goes off, add the sugar, raise the heat, and boil about 20 minutes, until it reads 225 on a candy thermometer. You will need to stir very frequently to keep it from burning or boiling over. When the temperature is reached, remove from heat and let it cool completely (this can take a couple hours).
• When the cake is done, remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool 10 minutes (still in the spring-form). At the end of the 10 minutes, use a knife to loosen the sides and remove the spring-form side. Allow to cool another 30 minutes, then use the knife to loosen the bottom and remove the base of the spring-form.
• When the cake and marmalade are both completely cool, use a spoon to glaze the top of the cake. Store in the fridge to keep the marmalade from getting too soft and running down.

Steps:

• Bring a pan of water to the boil. Lower the orange in and cover with a lid, leaving a gap so that a little steam can still escape. Boil gently for 30 mins, then remove from the water and allow to cool slightly. Quarter the orange and remove any pips, then transfer to a blender or food processor, add the lemon juice and zest and blitz to a smooth purée.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Oil the sides of a 23cm round cake tin and line the bottom of the tin with baking parchment.
• Sieve the almonds, polenta, baking powder and ½ tsp salt into a large bowl and mix together thoroughly. Whisk the eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until really pale and fluffy, about 4 mins. With the mixer still whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil in a steady stream so that the mixture doesn't split. Once incorporated, scrape in the orange purée and whisk to combine, then add the dry ingredients, combining until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake for 55 mins to 1 hr 5 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
• Cool in the tin on a wire rack while you make the syrup. Combine the sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, cardamom and 30ml water in a pan. Bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, then add the rosemary. Turn off the heat and infuse for at least 30 mins.
• Use a skewer to poke holes in the top of the cake, then pour over the syrup. Allow to settle for 5 mins or so, then slice and serve with some natural yogurt or crème fraîche, if you like.
