Triple Orange Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Move a rack to the bottom position.
• Drain the mandarin oranges and reserve the liquid. Measure the reserved liquid and add enough water to equal 1 1/4 cups. Measure out 1 cup mandarin oranges, reserving the remaining oranges for garnish.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine angel food cake mix, mandarin water, orange extract and orange zest. With an electric mixer, beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat on medium for 1 minute. Pour into angel food tube pan. Carefully place 1 cup of orange segments around top of cake batter. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until top of cake is cracked, dark golden brown, and not sticky.
• Remove cake from oven and invert onto glass bottle to cool.
• Frost cake with whipped topping and garnish with reserved orange segments.
• Cook's Note: Excessive stirring will cause whipped topping to become watery.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease a 9 x 13 cake pan; set aside.
• Place all ingredients except juice and icing sugar in a large bowl.
• Beat thoroughly with an electric mixer at medium speed.
• Pour into pan.
• Bake 35- 45 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched in center.
• Leave cake in pan and pierce entire surface with fork.
• In a small bowl, blend juice and icing sugar thoroughly.
• Spoon evenly over cake.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. You will need 2 x 20cm loose-bottomed sandwich tins, greased and bases lined with baking parchment. Measure all the cake ingredients into a large bowl (reserve a little orange zest for decoration) and beat with a wooden spoon or electric hand mixer until combined and smooth.
• Divide evenly between the 2 tins. Bake for 20-25 mins or until well risen, lightly golden and shrinking away from the sides of the tins. After 5 mins, remove from the tins and leave to cool on a wire rack.
• To make the icing, put the butter and icing sugar into a bowl and mix with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in the orange zest.
• Remove the paper from the cakes. Sit 1 cake upside down on a plate. Make the glaze by putting the caster sugar and orange juice into a saucepan, stirring over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Boil until reduced by half, then brush half on the upside-down cake, using a pastry brush. Spread half the butter icing over the glazed cake. Sit the other cake on top, brush with the remaining glaze, then spread with the remaining butter icing. Scatter with the reserved orange zest. The cake is best eaten on the day, but will keep for up to 3 days in a cool place. It freezes well un-iced or filled.
