Breadmaker Orange Cake Fast2eat

Yes, you can bake a cake in your bread machine. Baking with your bread machine can be quick, easy, and rewarding. There’s no yeast, no timings, and not much washing up – why not give it a try?

A bread machine does not only have to bake bread. Use it for mixing and baking your homemade cakes. Cakes are the same as quick breads, as they use baking soda or baking powder for leavening instead of yeast.

You will not get a dough-like consistency with this recipe. As cake you’ll end up with more of a batter.

If you love oranges, wait until you taste this cake. It’s often served as a tea or coffee cake, dessert cake or breakfast cake.

It can be finished in the bread machine (Cake setting) or you can pour the batter into a buttered bread pan and bake in the oven*.

If you love oranges, wait until you taste this cake. It’s often served as a tea or coffee cake, dessert cake or breakfast cake.

Servings: 16 slices

Ingredients

• 01 cup Orange juice - room temperature
• 4 tbsp Butter - softened or margarine
• 3 Egg - slightly beaten
• 1 1/2 cup Sugar
• 2 tbsp Powdered milk
• 1 cup Corn starch
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Baking powder - reserve – add after 10 minutes

Glaze:

• 2 tbsp Orange juice
• ¼ cup Confectioners' sugar - **

Instructions

• Attach the kneading blade in the bread pan.
• Place ingredients (but baking powdeinto the bread pan following the recipe order (or following the order and method specified in the manual of your Bread Maker – mine is: FIRST, liquid ingredients; SECOND, dry ingredients).
• Carefully insert bread pan into Bread Maker and gently close the lid.
  
• Plug the power cord into a wall outlet. Select “Cake” * bread setting. If available Choose crust color (I usually set Medium, but if you prefer set Light or Dark and loaf size (2LB) and Press the Start button.
• Caution: Do not use Delay Timer* for recipes with ingredients that can spoil like eggs or milk. More information at: "Using the Delay Timer"
• After 6 minutes of pre-mixing, use a Silicone Spatula to wipe the flour from the pan. DO NOT remove the pan, KEEP it locked in the machine while removing the flour from the sides.
• When the bread machine beeps during the kneading cycle. Raise the lid and carefully pour the baking powder into the Baking Pan. CAUTION: It is important to avoid spilling ingredients into the oven chamber.
• Close the lid and let the cycle complete (do NOT open the lid anymore). It will mix and bake the bread.
• When the baking cycle is complete, press the stop button and unplug the breadmaker.
• Open the lid and while using Oven Mitt, firmly grasp the bread pan handle and gently pull the pan straight up and out of the machine. CAUTION: The Bread Maker and pan may be very hot! Always handle with care.
  
• Use non-stick Spatula to gently loosen the sides of the bread from the pan.
• Turn bread pan upside down onto a Wire Cooling Rack or clean cooking surface and gently shake until bread falls out onto rack.
• Cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  
• To make perfect slices every time use this Bread Slicer.

Glaze:

• Mix orange juice with confectioners' sugar*. Pour on the cake while it’s still warm. After you have removed it from the pan.

Notes

*Many bread machines have a “Cake” Setting although be careful, sometimes it’s referred to as a “Batter” setting. Without a “Cake” or a “Batter” setting you can still use the bread machine to make cakes. Cakes are the same as quick/rapid breads, as they don’t have yeast in the recipe. They usually have baking powder and/or baking soda so the cake will rise in the oven. Most bread makers also have a ”bake” cycle.

Depending on your machine, use either the “Cake” (the best option) or “Quick/rapid bread” or “Batter” or “Pasta dough” or “bake” setting.

• The “Quick/rapid bread” and the dedicated “Cake” setting will mix your batter and bake your cake from start to finish in the bread machine.
• The “batter” setting, like the “Pasta dough” setting will prepare your cake batter but you must pour it into a baking pan to finish it in the oven. The typical oven setting is 350-425°F (180-220°C) for 45 minutes but you need to insert a knife or wooden skewer into the center of the bread to make sure it’s done. If it comes out wet add another 10 minutes.
• The “bake” feature, is essentially where you mix the ingredients by hand prior to putting them in the bread pan. You can then manually set the program for your desired length of time.

Caution: One thing to avoid is lifting or dropping the lid while your cake is baking in the machine. We often open the lid to check progress on a loaf of bread with no problems, but cakes are fussy and can fall if exposed to cooler temperatures or vibration at the wrong time.

Here are some tips for successful baking in your breadmaker:

• Check the mixture is blended. About 6 minutes into the mixing part of the cake cycle, open the lid and make sure there are no stray lumps of flour or butter clinging to the sides of the pan. Scrape everything in using a silicone spatula.
• Cold butter may not be properly incorporated, so make sure it’s really soft when it goes in (or melted). Recipes that call for oil are better in this respect, as they’ll ensure good fat distribution.
• Don’t use your regular bread flour to make cakes – it’s got too much gluten, which will produce a tough batter. Choose all purpose or cake flour (follow the recipe).
• To check for doneness, stick a skewer into the cake – it’s ready when it comes out clean.
• To add richness to the finished cake, spike holes all over with a skewer, and pour over a glaze

Weather can affect your ingredients

If you live in a moist climate, chances are you’ll need at least the recommended amount of flour, maybe even 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup more. Bread dough should be sticky, but still manageable, especially after the first rise. While you’re kneading, the dough should come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl, leaving the bowl mostly clean. I usually aim to have the very bottom of the dough still attached to the bowl. Try not to add too much flour because your bread will be denser. When you pick the dough up, some will stick to your fingers. After the first rise, it will be easier to handle!

You may also make this cake without the aid of a bread machine, or make the dough in a bread machine, and bake it in the oven.

Simply make the dough using your usual method (by hand, electric mixer or bread machine); allow it to rise until puffy, then shape it into a log; and place it in a lightly greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch (21.5 x 11.5 cm) bread pan. Allow the loaf to rise, covered, until it's crowned about 1 inch over the rim of the pan. If you want, brush the risen loaf with the beaten egg white, and sprinkle it with seeds. Bake it in a preheated 350°F/175°C oven for 35 minutes, or until its interior temperature registers 190°F/88°C on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the bread from the oven, remove it from the pan, and cool it on a wire rack.

How can you tell if cake is fully baked?

I like to use a food thermometer. Mine is digital, so it’s very easy to use. Fully cooked cake will be 190-200°F/88-93°C. Cake recipes that include milk will need to cook until 200°F/93°C, but without you can take it out once it reaches 190°F/88°C. The top will be golden brown.
