BETH’S ITALIAN ALMOND CAKE WITH ORANGE SCENTED WHIPPED CREAM
Serves 8
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup (180g) butter
1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup (200 g) sugar
¼ cup (60 ml) water
1 ½ tsp (7.5 ml) almond extract
1/2 cup (55 g) of Harina P.A.N
1/2 cup (60 g) ground almonds
1 cup (120 g) flour
2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
FOR ORANGE SCENTED WHIPPED CREAM:
2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
2 tbsp (13 g) powdered sugar
½ tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
1 tbsp (7 g) orange zest
FOR GARNISH:
1 orange, cut into segments
1 tbsp powdered sugar, dusted
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 350F (176C).
In a large bowl add melted butter, oil, eggs and egg yolks and sugar. Stir to combine.
Add water and almond extract stir to combine and set aside.
In a smaller bowl combine P.A.N cornmeal, Ground Almonds, Flour, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, in thirds, until combined.
Pour into a greased cake pan and bake for 25 mins until risen and golden brown.
Allow to cool completely, then invert cake and place upside down on a cake stand. Inverting the cake will give you a nice presentation. Dust with powdered sugar.
Prepare the whipped cream. In a bowl of an electric mixer whip together cups of heavy cream, sugar, vanilla and zest. Continue to whip on high until soft peaks form.
Cut cake into 8 slices and top with 2 orange segments and a dollop of orange scented whipped cream on the side. Enjoy!

Could you sub Apple sauce instead of oil? When I make a normal cake that's what I use and it turns out sooo moist!

This was absolutely delicious Beth! I was unable to find PAN so I used polenta that had been finely ground in a coffee grinder. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Beth, I love your videos and make sure to watch them weekly. Yesterday I made your Orange Almond cake with P.A.N. and I knew it wasn't "done" in 25 minutes – so kept checking and even after 50 minutes (allowing for the 8" cake pan I had to use) when I took it out, the center totally collapsed as it cooled. I do have a thermometer in my oven so I know the temperature was correct. Any suggestions?

Hello Beth, I love watching your videos. Do you know where I could buy the brand name PAN? Is it available in any grocery stores?

corn meal cakes are very traditional in romania, we use to make them simple, vanilla flavored, and serve them with sourcream and jam. it does taste great, but i am not very fond of the smell (plus, we use the same corn meal we make polenta with, lol)

I can't believe our signature Corn meal have gone so far.! PAN is a classic flour to make the typical Venezuelan dish, la AREPA!.. awesome!!!

HELP, BETH! I'll be in Germany in two weeks and my partner told me that I'd have to help him plan a surprise barbeque for his mother. We're getting help from a french-german friend of the family. I was hopping to make something traditionally American but how can I hold my own in a kitchen with a woman from Provence?

Beth, congrats for this amazing cake. I love its texture, so smooth and delicate. Perfect with a cup of tea. I have PAN in my pantry, so i have to try this.
One question Beth, do you have a video about how to make Polenta? I have a package of it as well, and i´ve never used it before.
Thanks!
Patricia.

Could you also make a sort of orange glaze to pour over the cake so it soaks up the orange flavor instead? Or would that make for a weird or overpowering flavor/texture? Great recipe!
