"orange cake" news and stories

When the words "flourless" and "cake" are put into the same sentence, the word that comes between them is almost always "chocolate." That is not the case here and this Flourless Orange Cake from Kuidaore is good enough to win over even dedicated chocoholics. The Sephardic recipe was first printed in Claudia Roden's Book of Middle Eastern Food, and though the origins of the cake are older than the book, the innovative use of the orange to Western palates made it a hit. Though it is not in the new edition, the recipe is well-known enough to appear in many other publications. The cake is made with whole, boiled oranges, ground almonds, sugar, eggs and baking powder - that's it. Mix it, bake it and with very minimal effort, you'll have a moist and tender cake that melts in your mouth, leaving a flavor that makes even the common orange seem exotic.

Restaurant Widow's Orange Polenta Cake with Mascarpone Dolce and Orange Sauce may have a mouthful of a name, but what a mouthful! This fantastic looking cake is very easy to make, only using one bowl to mix everything in. The mascarpone dolce topping is made simply by stirring a few tablespoons of caramel sauce into softened mascarpone cheese, though some stores, like Trader Joe's, carry a brand of this sweet mixture in their cheese departments. You could substitute cream cheese for the mascarpone, says Lisa, or you might sweeten your topping with honey instead of caramel sauce. Come to think of it, though, a drizzle of honey is probably all you'd need to top this delicious cake and have it for brunch!

What to do with that big box of clementines that you just had to buy on sale at the local supermarket? Well, Clementine Cake, of course, from Nigella Lawson's recipe. It's super easy and - if photos are any indication - mouthwatering. That smudge on the computer screen is where I tried to filch a few crumbs... just for a taste...
