General
Ingredients
- CAKE
- 3 C All Purpose Flour
- 1 T baking powder
- 1 t salt
- 1 – 2/3 C sugar
- 3/4 C unsalted butter – at room temp
- 3 large eggs
- 1 T orange zest
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 3/4 C buttermilk
- 2 C frozen huckleberries (it’s important they are frozen, or they will bleed all over the cake)
- MERINGUE FROSTING
- 1 C sugar
- 1/3 C water, minus 1 T
- 1 T orange juice
- 2 egg whites
- 1 pinch cream of tartar
- 1/2 t vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350. Use shortening and flour to ready your bundt pan or spray generously. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light. Add eggs one at a time, and then add orange zest, vanilla and almond. Mix thoroughly and add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk. Fold in berries, pour into pan and bake ~50 minutes until top springs back easily. Cool at least 8 – 10 minutes and then turn out onto a plate or rack.
- FROSTING: Begin heating sugar and water /juice in a small saucepan. Add a candy thermometer to the pan. Continue to boil as you froth two egg whites in the base of a standing mixer. Add cream of tartar when egg whites are frothy, stop beating. When sugar reaches about 225 degrees, begin whipping the egg whites on high until peaks form. When sugar mixture reaches 240 or soft ball stage, remove from heat and pour in a steady stream into whites, with mixer running on low. Beat for 7 full minutes until fluffy and glossy – and add half teaspoon vanilla.
