Orange-Glow Chiffon Layer Cake

March 28, 2011 by Lois Britton 6 Comments

 Heavenly Cake Baker Submission #40

I chickened out!  I don’t have a flower nail with me, and I’m still hunting my way through all of the flours with my translator app – nothing is labeled unbleached.  So I took the easy way out and made cupcakes like the original Bostini batter.

Hurray – both pans on the same rack!

I haven’t found a baking spray yet, so I buttered the cups and dusted with flour.  It was the usual two step process with a fluffy meringue folded in for a light as air, orange scented batter.

I had a little extra batter, so that went into a small prepared bowl.  I had to try one when they came out of the oven.  It was light and fragrant.  I had a second one before I went on on errands, just to stave off low blood sugar, of course.  While I was out, Ed and Bill sampled the plain cupcakes.  Bill felt that didn’t need a topping; they were fine they on their own.  Now, we’re down to 8 cupcakes and a small bowl.  They all got the True Orange Whipped Cream topping and went to Ed’s office the next day.  The Polish Air Force will think that Americans are dedicated bakers.

Unlike my other blog posts, as part of the Heavenly Cake Bakers, I don’t post recipes from this book on the Internet. One of the reasons for this baking group is to encourage readers to purchase the cookbook. That strategy worked on me! After follow the group’s baking adventures for a couple of months, I ordered a copy from Amazon because I wanted join in.

    Very cute! Good to know they work well as cupcakes. Sounds like they’ll be good in the summer with strawberries.

    Adorable. I love the way you frosted them with the cake showing around the sides.

    For some reason I can’t post comments on your blog (and a few others) from home. About a week or so ago I had written you this long post about your apple tart – complete with links and all kinds of advice – and then lost it all when I tried to post 🙁 Anyway, I’m at work now and hope I can post, so I wanted to send you the link to a wonderful apple tart by Martha Stewart – http://www.marthastewart.com/334356/apple-tart. It uses store-bought Dufour puff pastry so no sticking! And is super easy to make and looks smashing when done.

    You can see some pictures on my blog (very first post). I usually make 2 long tarts instead of one big one – looks more elegant, IMO. Anyway, good luck with the apple tart 🙂
