Honeybell Triple Layer Cake
Florida Honeybell oranges are known for being extremely juicy and their
impressive sweet taste. Several popular recipes incorporate Florida oranges
but sometimes they leave a somewhat sour or bitter taste. In this case, many
people choose to use Honeybell oranges because they are sweeter.
The best Honeybell oranges are harvested in Florida. The Indian River Citrus
grove located on the Eastern Seaboard of Florida is the home of the best
citrus fruit. This is primarily because of the climate conditions. The
rich, clean soil is and temperate climate is perfect for growing citrus
fruit. It is warm during the day hours and cooler at night. There is also a
perfect balance of rain to keep the soil nourished.
Most bakers agree that the use of Florida Honeybell oranges instead of the
native orange makes for a better dish or dessert.
One of our favorite recipes is the Honeybell Triple Layer Cake. It has an
orange curd filling and a fabulous orange frosting. The Orange curd filling
is very easy to make. It can be used as a filling for cakes or donuts.
The ingredients required include:
2 tsp of gelatin unflavored
¼ cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 ½ cups of sugar
8 large egg yolks
2 or 3 tsp of grated ripe lemon (depends on preference)
1 cup of fresh squeezed Florida Honeybell Oranges
3 tbsp of grated Florida Honeybell Orange peel
1 ½ sticks of butter or ¾ cups
The above ingredients are used to make the curd.
Now that we have all the ingredients together, it's time to make fabulous
Honeybell orange filling. The process is quite simple and takes less than
fifteen minutes.
Gather all your ingredients except for the lemon juice and gelatin.
First pour the lemon juice into a small bowl. Now sprinkle the gelatin on
top of it. Let these ingredients stand for approximately fifteen minutes
while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
The remaining ingredients are yolk, Honeybell orange peeling, Honeybell
orange juice, lemon peel and sugar. Combine all these ingredients in a
large saucepan or similar dish. The saucepan or dish needs to be
heavyweight. Whisk the ingredients together. After ingredients are whipped,
place saucepan over medium heat, add butter and continue to whip until the
orange filling bubbles and begin to thicken. This process should take
approximately 10 minutes. The lemon juice and gelatin should be ready to
add to this mixture at this point.
Combine the ingredients stirring a little more until the gelatin is
completely dissolved. Remove ingredients from the saucepan then place in a
refrigerator dish to chill overnight.
Be sure to cover the filling for best results and enjoy!
