How to Make Grand Marnier Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch angel food cake pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 6 large egg yolks, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon Grand Marnier liqueur.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in 1 cup finely chopped walnuts and the zest of 1 large orange. In a separate bowl, beat 6 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is still hot in the pan, spoon the Grand Marnier Glaze (recipe below) over the top.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a serving plate.
- Serve and enjoy!
