RECIPE: Orange Juice Cake Recipe

20 years ago

This cake is just too easy to make. I keep frozen OJ in the freezer and when I get some out to make a cake, I mix it like it says on the can, measure out enough for 1 cake and put it in freezer bags and then the next time all I have to do is get out the bag and let it thaw. One can makes several bags already measured out. You don't have to use frozen. Any OJ will work. Have been thinking of trying one with frozen lemonade.

Orange Juice Cake

1 pkg. butter recipe, yellow cake mix

1 c. orange juice

Â½ c. oil

1 sm. Pkg. vanilla pudding

4 eggs

Â½ c. or more nuts

Grease and flour bunt pan. (I donÂt flour mine just spray it with Pam) Pour nuts evenly over bottom of pan. Mix remaining ingredients and pour over nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

Glaze

1 c. sugar

1 stick of margarine

Â¼ c. orange juice

Stir all ingredients together; bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Pour over hot cake in pan. Let set for 30 minutes before removing from pan. (I put a little dab more O.J., I think it makes the cake even more moist).

This sounds nice and easy. I bet it would be really good with lemon juice and lemon pudding.

Margaret: I found several Orange cake recipes in my cookbooks, but could use more info. to narrow it down. Do you know if it was a sponge or a chiffon cake? Did it have any nuts, spices or raisins? Do you know if it was baked in a tube or bundt pan? Was it frosted or glazed?

RECIPE: Lemon Chiffon cake recipes
Q
Comments (1)
Here is a recipe from Cook's: Lemon Chiffon Cake If the egg whites to be whipped are not at room temperature, set them in a pan placed in hot tap water and stir them until they are tepid. Coconut is very nice as a variation for this cake. Add 2/3 to 1 cup lightly packed sweetened flaked coconut, lightly chopped, to the batter before folding in the egg whites. Serves 12 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1 1/3 cups cake flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon table salt 7 large eggs , 2 left whole, 5 separated 2/3 cup water 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 2 large lemons , zested, then juiced to yield 2 tablespoons strained juice Cake See Illustrations Below: Making a Chiffon Cake 1. Adjust rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt together in large bowl (at least 4-quart size). Whisk in two whole eggs, five egg yolks (reserve whites), water, oil, lemon juice and zest and vanilla extract until batter is just smooth. 2. Pour reserved egg whites into large bowl; beat at medium speed with electric mixer until foamy, about 1 minute. Add cream of tartar, increase speed to medium-high, then beat whites until very thick and stiff, just short of dry, 9 to 10 minutes with hand-held mixer and 5 to 7 minutes in KitchenAid or other standing mixer. With large rubber spatula, fold whites into batter, smearing in any blobs of white that resist blending with flat side of spatula. 3. Pour batter into large tube pan (9-inch diameter, 16-cup capacity). Rap pan against countertop five times to rupture any large air pockets. If using two-piece pan, grasp on both sides with your hands while firmly pressing down on the tube with thumbs to keep batter from seeping underneath pan during this rapping process. Wipe off any batter that may have dripped or splashed onto inside walls of pan with paper towel. 4. Bake cake until wire cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Immediately turn cake upside down to cool. If pan does not have prongs around rim for elevating cake, invert pan over bottle or funnel, inserted through tube. Let cake hang until completely cold, about 2 hours. 5. To unmold, turn pan upright. Run frosting spatula or thin knife around pan's circumference between cake and pan wall, always pressing against the pan. Use cake tester to loosen cake from tube. For one-piece pan, bang it on counter several times, then invert over serving plate. For two-piece pan, grasp tube and lift cake out of pan. If glazing the cake, use a fork or a paring knife to gently scrape all the crust off the cake. Loosen cake from pan bottom with spatula or knife, then invert cake onto plate. (Can be wrapped in plastic and stored at room temperature 2 days or refrigerated 4 days.) Glaze for Chiffon Cake Since lumps in the confectioners' sugar don't dissolve completely in the liquid, they really show up once the cake is glazed. Unless you are certain that your sugar is lump-free, better to sift it. Before you glaze the cake, the crumbs must be scraped. With a fork or paring knife, gently scrape all the crust off the cake. To keep the serving plate from becoming smudged with glaze, slip small pieces of waxed paper beneath the cake edge all along the bottom. If making the milk variation, stir in one-half teaspoon of lemon juice to cut the intense sweetness. Makes enough for 1 chiffon cake 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted 4 - 5 tablespoons orange juice , lemon juice, milk, or coffee 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar Beat butter, 4 tablespoons of the liquid, and sugar in medium bowl until smooth. Let glaze stand 1 minute, then try spreading a little on cake. If cake threatens to tear, thin glaze with up to 1 tablespoon more liquid. A little at a time, spread glaze over cake top, letting excess dribble down sides. Let cake stand until glaze dries, about 30 minutes. If you like, spread dribbles to make a thin, smooth coat.

Do you use the instant pudding or the kind you cook?

Ginger,
It is instant pudding. I used French Vanilla once and it was really good. Thought about trying one with lemonaid and lemon pudding. Wonder if that would be good. I'm gonna try it soon and let you all know.

Gabriell, I'm so glad you enjoyed this. It's not a pretty cake but the taste sure makes up for the looks. The first time I took it for a holiday gathering at my inlaws no one touched it. Kinda hurt my feelings. They all ate the pretty cakes and desserts, you know the ones with the cool whip. Then one holiday for some strange reason I was the only one to bring a dessert that was homemade and guess what? There was none left. Now at the family gatherings it is the first to go.

I have tried this recipe with an off brand cake mix and the first one wasn't as moist as using the name brand. The next time I tried using a little more glaze when I poured it over the cake and let it sit for 30 minutes made it much better.

Gluecille,I don't know why you would think this cake is not pretty.I baked mine in a bundt pan and as I said poured some glaze on the top after I turned it out of the pan.It is a pretty color and sort of glistened from that glaze.Looks pretty to me! Gabriell Had a slice for breakfast.

I think it is pretty but I guess when it is sitting beside everything that has frosting, cool whip sprinkled with nuts etc. it just kinda looks plain. My kids love it. They beg me to make it for every occasion.

I also make it when a friend or friend's family passes away and take it to them. One time I had to leave it sitting beside someone's door and I was really worried that some animal would discover it before they did.

Besides the great taste, I like it because it is so easy to make and not that many different ingredients.

This is my kind of cake! Minimal ingredients. Plus, I usually scrape off frostings anyway. For me, the cake is the thing.

I have a lemon cake recipe that has a great flavor due to the "glaze". I would be tempted to try glazing this cake with the same method. Unmold the cake after 20 minutes. Poke 50 little holes in the cake with a wooden skewer. Then brush the warm glaze onto the cake until there's no more left. Wrap the cake in foil and freeze for 18-24 hours (or more if you want) then defrost and serve. It's moist and delicious!

I have no clue why this is doing it but I'm dying to make this; however, I need a little help here.

Under the cake's ingredients, I need the amount of oil and nuts.
Under the glaze's ingredients, I need the orange juice amount.
There's some type of funky symbol only on the above quantity of ingredients. I'd be so grateful if someone would be kind enough to help me with the correct measurements. Have a good one and thanks again!

By the way, I'm definitely going to make the lemonade cake like y'all have talked about. Stay tuned; I'll let you know how it turns out! :- )

Looks like it's 1/2 cup of oil, 1/2 cup nuts and 1/2 cup OJ.

Looks good, I'm going to have to make it for the grandkids.

I'm going to have to try this one. I went to NASA in Florida last Spring and they made cake for dessert out of (wait for it) Tang! Does anyone remember that? I didn't know they even made it anymore. Anyway, it was my first orange flavored cake and I have to admit sneaking back for a second piece while the astronaut was answering questions.
