Orange Velvet Pound Cake

Products Used

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, soft
  • 2 1/2 cups Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon coconut or almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons fine grated orange zest, no white bitter pith
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup shredded coconut

    Orange Glaze

    • *Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
    2. Butter and flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan. Set aside.
    3. Cream butter until creamy; add sugar and cream further. Add eggs one at a time waiting for the previously added egg to be fully incorporated. Scrape in between additions. Cream until light and fluffy. Add extract and orange zest.
    4. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Add 1/4 of flour mixture to wet mixture and combine, add 1/3 of orange juice and combine. Repeat with flour and juice until all is incorporated. Stir in coconut.
    5. Scrape batter into prepared pan and place in oven. Bake for approximately 70-80 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. If cake becomes too dark cover with foil.
    6. Let sit 10 minutes. Place a serving dish on top of baking pan and quickly turn upside down. Remove pan and cover cake with plastic food film. Let cool.
    7. For glaze, whisk together ingredients and pour on cooled cake.

    My family loved this pound cake. It's very moist and the flavor is wonderful. I added a teaspoon or Grand Marnier. This is a keeper!

    Panqué Suave de Naranja

    Products Used

    Ingredientes

    • 1 1/2 tazas de mantequilla sin sal, suave
    • 2 1/2 tazas de Dixie Crystals Azúcar Granulada Extra Fina
    • 5 huevos grandes, temperatura del ambiente
    • 1 cucharadita de extracto de coco o almendra
    • 2 cucharadas de ralladura fina de naranja, sin la parte blanca
    • 3 1/4 taza de harina multiuso (spoon and sweep method*)
    • 1/2 cucharadita de polvo de hornear
    • 1/4 cucharadita de bicarbonato de sodio
    • 1/2 cucharadita de sal
    • 1 taza de jugo de naranja
    • 1 taza de coco rallado

    Glaseado de naranja

    • *Método de cuchara y barrido: use una cuchara para llenar la taza de medir con harina hasta obtener la cantidad requerida. Si coloca la taza de medir directamente en la bolsa de harina, empacará la harina con firmeza y se necesitará demasiada harina para la receta.

    Direcciones

    1. Caliente el horno a 350° F.
    2. Engrase y enharine un molde Bundt o con un tubo en el centro de 10 pulgadas, póngalo a un lado.
    3. Bata la mantequilla hasta que quede cremosa, añada la azúcar y vuelva a batir. Añada los huevos uno a la vez esperando que cada uno se incorpore antes de añadir el próximo. Raspe el tazón después de cada huevo. Bata hasta que quede cremoso y esponjoso. Añada el extracto y la ralladura de naranja.
    4. Cierna la harina, el polvo de hornear, el bicarbonato de soda y la sal juntos. Añada un cuarto de la harina y combine, añada un tercio del jugo de naranja y combine. Repita hasta que incorpore toda la harina y el jugo de naranja. Añada el coco.
    5. Raspe la mezcla vertiéndola en el molde preparado y póngalo en el horno. Hornee aproximadamente de 70 a 80 minutos o hasta que el centro rebote después de ser levemente apretado o cuando un palillo de dientes introducido en el centro salga limpio. Si el pastel comienza a ponerse muy oscuro cúbralo con papel de aluminio.
    6. Déjelo enfriar por 10 minutos. Ponga un plato encima del molde y voltéelo rápidamente. Sáquelo del molde y cubra con papel plástico. Déjelo enfriar completamente.
    7. Para el glaseado, bata los ingredientes y viértalos sobre el pastel frío.
