Orange Poppy Seed Cake

SoupNazi

From Prevention.com


The poppy seeds in this light cake lend a nutty taste, while the orange juice adds some zip. If you like, you can dust a little sifted confectioners' sugar over the glaze.

Prep: 21min|Cook: 40min |Total: 1hr 16min

CAKE:
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 egg whites
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup orange juice
Glaze:
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice

Directions
1. To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9" or 10" tube pan with a removable bottom and dust lightly with flour. 2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt. 3. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. 4. In another bowl, using the same beater, beat the eggs and sugar until pale yellow and fluffy. Add the oil, orange peel, and vanilla extract, beating just until blended. Alternately add the flour mixture and the orange juice, beating on low speed just until blended. 5. Stir one-third of the egg whites into the batter, then fold in the rest. Place the batter into the prepared pan. 6. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. The cake will rise and crack on top, then deflate a bit as it cools. Run a knife around the rim of the cake to loosen it from the sides. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and place on the rack to cool completely. 7. To make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

I forgot to buy poppyseeds when I went grocery shopping today!! Thanks for the reminder. But when I do buy them I'm making this cake! I can't wait to try it! I love lemon poppyseed cake or muffins. And I love orange cake, scones, muffins.

Sounds yummy but no poppyseeds until after sis takes her drug test for her new job. We teased her after the last one. She had been eating this yummy whole grain nuts and seeds bread from the bakery at Kroger in Virginia and had built enough opiates up in her system from the poppyseeds in it to test positive for a low level of opiates. :laugh: Better not feed her any this time! She had to wait a few days and repeat the test. Funny thing is her new boss totally understood because the same thing happened to her with lemon poppyseed muffins. So warning don't eat these before a drug test! :laugh:

I made this cake today and it is very good! I did not have the full amount of poppyseeds but it still has plenty. Not overly sweet like some cakes. Partly because it has the glaze and not frosting.

Thanks for the recipe:flowerforyou:
