INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups (285g) cake flour
1 1/2 cups (300g) sugar
1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
2 1/2 teaspoon (12g) baking powder
1 1/2 sticks (12 T) (169g) unsalted butter….Cut into 1/2 inch slices onto waxed paper to soften slightly (still very cool to the touch. If it becomes too soft, refrigerate for a few minutes. Do not soften in microwave
4 large eggs
3/4 cup (190g) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/2 cup (121g) milk
1 Tablespoon (10g) orange extract
zest of 1 orange
Orange Coloring Gel (optional) We used a small amount to swirl into the frosted cake for a marbled frosting look.
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (This Recipe uses the Reverse Creaming Method of Mixing.)
Grease and flour two 8 x 2 inch round pans.
In the bowl of your mixer add the dry ingredients, flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, add the eggs, orange juice concentrate, milk, orange extract and zest.
With the mixer on low speed, add the slices of butter a few pieces at a time to the dry ingredients. Increase the mixer to medium speed and beat until the dry ingredients look crumbly and moistened. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl.
SLOWLY add 1/2 of the egg mixture, increasing to medium speed for 1 1/2 minutes, the batter will become thick and fluffy. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Add a small amount of Orange Coloring Gel to the bowl if you would like the batter to be orange. Add the remaining egg mixture in 2 pourings, beating for 20 seconds after each addition.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
Let the cakes cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out.
Makes 6 cups batter.
