DAFFODIL CAKE (LEMON CAKE SUPREME)



Daffodil Cake (Lemon Cake Supreme) image

This recipe came from my grandma. At some point, I got into the habit of making it each spring to celebrate the first blooming daffodils - something worth celebrating, to my mind, after long snowy winters. And this light, creamy, lemony, slightly tropical concoction always seemed the perfect harbinger of spring.

DAFFODIL CAKE



Daffodil Cake image

Much like its namesake flower, the daffodil cake is a cheerful sign that warmer days are ahead. Here's how it works: half of the batter is ethereal angel food; the other half is enriched with egg yolks and the zest and juice of an orange and a lemon. After layering both in a tube pan and baking, you pour the tart, citrusy glaze on top to create a dessert that will rouse your taste buds-and brighten any gathering.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Time 55m

Yield 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal), divided
12 large egg whites, plus 6 large yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh juice
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh juice
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
Edible pansies, for serving (optional)
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more if needed
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh juice
1 teaspoon orange-blossom water (optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt through a coarse-mesh sieve onto a piece of parchment. Beat yolks and 1/4 cup sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until doubled in volume, 3 minutes. Beat in both zests and juices.
  • In a clean bowl with clean whisks, beat egg whites on high speed until foamy. Beat in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar; beat to stiff peaks. Transfer to a large, wide bowl. Sift one-third of flour mixture over top; gently but thoroughly fold in. Repeat twice more with remaining flour mixture.
  • Fold half of egg-white mixture into yolk mixture; dollop into an ungreased 10-inch angel-food-cake pan. Top with remaining egg-white mixture. Run a knife through to release air bubbles. Bake until top springs back when lightly touched, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Invert pan onto its legs (or rest on the neck of a wine bottle); let cool 1 hour. Run a knife around inside of pan and tube to release cake and unmold, then use it to release cake from pan bottom; remove.
  • For the Glaze: Whisk together all ingredients to create a thick but pourable glaze. If too thick, whisk in more lemon juice, 1 teaspoon at a time; if too thin, more confectioners' sugar. Place cake on a cake stand and pour glaze over top, letting it drip down sides. Let stand until set, about 30 minutes; decorate with flowers.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups white sugar, divided
¾ cup sifted cake flour
6 egg yolks
½ teaspoon orange extract
½ cup sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Wash the tube pan in hot soapy water to ensure it is totally grease-free.
  • In a large dry glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar and salt, and continue to whip. When the whites can form soft peaks, gradually sprinkle in 1 cup sugar, while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  • In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Blend in 3/4 cup cake flour and orange extract. Fold half of the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture.
  • Fold the remaining 1/2 cup of cake flour into the egg whites, along with the vanilla. Spoon about 1 cup of batter at a time, alternating colors, into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back when pressed.
  • Without removing cake from pan, invert pan onto a wire rack to cool. Once completely cooled, remove cake from the pan and frost with your choice of frosting. Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting works quite well.
