How to Make Fondant A L Orange Orange Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 3 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with ½ cup melted unsalted butter, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the zest of 2 large oranges.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup orange juice and 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
  11. Thinly slice one orange and arrange the slices decoratively on top of the cake.
