Mini Orange Cake
6” Orange Cake Recipe
This recipe is for our Mini Almond Cake Kit, or you can use half of a regular Midtown Mix Almond Cake Base jar. Be sure to check out the other recipes that use this base as well!
You provide:
Supplies & Equipment:
Included 6” round pan
Included parchment paper round
Medium mixing bowl and whisk
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 medium orange (about half a pound)
Preparation:
You will boil an orange for about 45 minutes, once the orange is cooked, preheat oven to 325°F to heat while the cake is prepped.
Add parchment paper to baking pan and grease sides of pan with oil.
Step 1:
Boil the orange in water for about 45 minutes - the orange will float, so spin it a bit every 10 minutes to make sure each part is submerged at some point. Remove the orange from the water and let cool.
Step 2:
Once the orange is cool enough to handle, trim off stem and cut into quarters. Add to food processor or blender and blend until the consistency of a marmalade. Don’t blend to the point of puree.
Step 3:
Add in the 3 eggs and the mini Midtown Mix Almond Cake Mix and run food processor/blender until the ingredients are combined, but not long enough to make completely smooth.
Step 4:
Pour batter into 6” greased cake pan and bake at 325°F for 35 minutes, until center is set and sides are starting to pull away from pan.
Step 5:
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before running a knife along the outside edge and turning over to release cake.
Tips and Ideas:
Cake will keep for up to a week in the fridge, but wrap or cover it to keep fresh
Cracks or crumbs? No problem, dust with powdered sugar to give a nice finished look
Garnishes ideas:
Serve with a dollop of Vanilla Greek Yogurt, clotted cream, mascarpone or very lightly sweetened whipped cream
