Ingredients List
- --------------------------------ORANGE CAKE--------------------------------
- 1 1/2 c Cake flour
- 1 ts Baking powder
- 1/4 ts Baking soda
- 1/4 ts Salt
- 1 Egg
- 1 Egg white
- 1/2 c Butter, (1 stick) softened
- 1 c Sugar
- 1 tb Grated orange peel
- 1/3 c Orange juice
- 1/2 c Light sour cream
Directions
ORANGE SYRUP
1/4 c Sugar
1 c Orange juice
2 tb Butter
For the CAKE Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Set aside.
Beat egg, egg white, butter, sugar and orange peel with electric mixer
until smooth and fluffy. Stir in orange juice and sour cream. (Note: It's
OK if batter looks curdled.) Add flour mixture and mix until smooth.
Pour into 6-cup (8-inch) bundt pan that has been greased and dusted with
flour. Smooth top with spatula.
Bake at 350 degrees until browned and toothpick inserted into center comes
out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes. Gently invert onto
cake rack. Cool completely. (Note: The cake can be made a day ahead and
kept at room temperature or frozen up to 3 months, wrapped airtight.)
To serve, tent cake with foil and warm in 300-degree oven until just heated
through, not hot, about 10 minutes. Cut into 1-inch slices and arrange 2
slices, overlapping, on each dessert plate.
For the ORANGE SYRUP Bring sugar, orange juice and butter to boil in
small saucepan, stirring well. Simmer, uncovered, until slightly syrupy and
reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 8 minutes. (Note: Syrup can be made day
ahead and refrigerated.) Serve warm in small pitcher for pouring.

Tip I've used a small bundt pan, which seems just the right size for a
small group. Typically, this type of cake is glazed but here, the orange
syrup replaces the glaze. The cake is served gently warmed; pass the warm
orange syrup in a small pitcher. Just a small amount of this thin syrup
(equal to about 2 teaspoons) is drizzled over each serving. It's a great
taste. AM
