Orange Cake w/Mascarpone Cream
Makes 12 servings
INGREDIENTS
Cake
3 Medium Oranges
¾ Cup Sugar
¼ Cup Honey
5 Eggs
2 Cups Almond Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/8 Tsp Salt
1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
Syrup
½ Cup Sugar
1 Orange, zest & juice
Mascarpone Cream
1 Cup Whipping Cream, chilled
6 Tbls Mascarpone Cheese
2 Tbls Sugar
¼ Tsp Vanilla Extract
DIRECTIONS
Gently wash the oranges with clean water and put them into
a pot and cover with water. Place a plate over the oranges to keep them
submerged. Bring to a rolling boil, then turn down to a good simmer and cook
for 2 hours. Remove from the heat, drain the cooking liquid into a bowl and set
both the oranges and the liquid aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 350 F
Grease a 9-inch spring-form pan and line with baking
parchment
After the oranges have cooled enough to safely handle,
cut them into medium-sized pieces (peel and all), remove any seeds. Place the
granulated sugar and honey in the bowl of a food processor, add the eggs and blend
until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Add the oranges to the processor and continue to blend
until smooth. Add the almond flour, salt, and baking powder and blend to
combine.
Use a rubber spatula to scrape the cake mixture from the
processor into the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1½ hours. Test the
cake with a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean
then the cake is done. Let cake cool in pan before removing the spring-form
ring and bottom.
Orange Syrup
Pour the reserved cooking liquid from the oranges into a
large pan. Add the sugar, the zest of an orange and its juice. Bring to a boil
for 10 minutes or until thick and syrupy. Let cool.
Mascarpone Cream
Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat together the
whipping cream, Mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. To serve,
place slices of the cake on individual serving plates. Top with a dollop
mascarpone cream. Drizzle a little orange syrup over the top.
NOTE: Always read labels carefully
