  • 2/3 cup (125 g) sugar
  • 9 Tbsp (125 g) butter (Softened | At Room Temperature)
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 blood orange Zest (From 2 Oranges)
  • 6 Tbsp (100 g) Blood Orange juice (From 2 Oranges)
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp (12 g) baking powder

BLOOD ORANGE GLAZE

  • 2 Tbsp (15 g) powdered sugar

Instructions
 

BLOOD ORANGE CAKE PREPARATION

  • In a mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar for 3 minutes on Medium speed, until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, blood orange zest and juice. Combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. NOTE: The curdled appearance is perfectly normal, as well as the greenish color (yellow from the egg + purple from the blood orange).
  • Pour your preparation into your Twisted Crown Flexipan® Mold.

BAKE!

  • Bake for 20 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cake from 18min). It is ready when the sponge springs back from the touch.

BLOOD ORANGE GLAZE

  • In a small bowl, whisk the blood orange juice with the powdered sugar using your Mini Whisk. Pour it right way on your cake as soon as it is out of the oven.
  • Once your Blood Orange Cake has cooled down, flip it onto your serving plate to unmold. Dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
