- 1:23Speaker 1: with the flavored butter. Place the softened butter in a bowl.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Add the grated zest of the orange and the mandarin.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Mix until the citrus aromas are well combined with the butter.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Set aside. Squeeze the orange and the mandarins. Obtain about
- 1:41Speaker 1: 3 fluid ounces of orange juice and about 3 fluid
- 1:45Speaker 1: ounces of mandarin juice. Mix these juices together. Measure an
- 1:52Speaker 1: extra 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons, about 25 grams of
- 1:55Speaker 1: mandarin juice and set it aside for the glaze. In
- 1:59Speaker 1: a large bowl, add the eggs. Add the brown sugar.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Beat with electric beaters until the mixture becomes light, voluminous
- 2:08Speaker 1: and frothy. Add the flavored butter to the whipped eggs.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Continue to work with the electric beaters until the butter
- 2:15Speaker 1: is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. In a
- 2:19Speaker 1: separate bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Add part of these dry ingredients to the egg and
- 2:25Speaker 1: butter mixture. Add the powdered ginger. Mix with the electric
- 2:30Speaker 1: beaters until combined. Pour in part of the mixed citrus juice.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Add the remaining dry ingredients. Mix again. Add the remaining
- 2:41Speaker 1: citrus juice. Continue mixing with the beaters until the batter
- 2:45Speaker 1: is completely homogeneous, smooth, and without lumps. Grease a 9-inch,
- 2:50Speaker 1: 23-centimeter bundt pan, about 4 inches, 10 centimeters deep. Flour
- 2:56Speaker 1: the pan, making sure you cover all the inner surfaces.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Pour the batter into the pan. Distribute it evenly with
- 3:04Speaker 1: a spatula and level the surface. Place the pan in
- 3:07Speaker 1: a conventional oven preheated to 338 degrees Fahrenheit, 170 degrees Celsius.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes. The cake must
- 3:18Speaker 1: be well risen and cooked through. When the baking time
- 3:22Speaker 1: is over, remove the bundt pan from the oven. Let
- 3:26Speaker 1: the cake rest in the pan for about 20 minutes.
- 3:29Speaker 1: When it is no longer very hot but still warm,
- 3:32Speaker 1: gently invert the cake onto a wire rack. Lift off
- 3:35Speaker 1: the pan carefully. Let the bundt cake cool completely on
- 3:39Speaker 1: the rack. While the cake cools, prepare the mandarin segments
- 3:43Speaker 1: for decoration. Take one mandarin. Supreme it by cutting away
- 3:49Speaker 1: the peel and the white pit, then cutting out the
- 3:51Speaker 1: clean segments between the membranes. Cut each segment in half.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Set these pieces aside for later decoration. Prepare the glaze.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Pour the reserved 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons, about 25
- 4:05Speaker 1: grams of mandarin juice into a bowl. Add the powdered sugar.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Whisk with a whisk until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous glaze,
- 4:14Speaker 1: without lumps. When the bundt cake is completely cool, place
- 4:18Speaker 1: it on a serving plate. Pour the mandarin glaze over
- 4:22Speaker 1: the top. Let it run naturally down the sides. Decorate
- 4:27Speaker 1: the top of the cake with the mandarin pieces. Add
- 4:30Speaker 1: rosemary needles or small sprigs as decoration, using them sparingly
- 4:34Speaker 1: so they remain mostly visual. Serve the citrus and ginger
- 4:38Speaker 1: bundt cake as a fragrant, tender ring cake with a
- 4:41Speaker 1: bright mandarin finish. Store the cake in the refrigerator and
- 4:45Speaker 1: use it within two days.
