BETH’S ITALIAN ALMOND CAKE WITH ORANGE SCENTED WHIPPED CREAM
Serves 8
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup (180g) butter
1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup (200 g) sugar
¼ cup (60 ml) water
1 ½ tsp (7.5 ml) almond extract
1/2 cup (55 g) of Harina P.A.N
1/2 cup (60 g) ground almonds
1 cup (120 g) flour
2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
FOR ORANGE SCENTED WHIPPED CREAM:
2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
2 tbsp (13 g) powdered sugar
½ tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
1 tbsp (7 g) orange zest
FOR GARNISH:
1 orange, cut into segments
1 tbsp powdered sugar, dusted
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 350F (176C).
In a large bowl add melted butter, oil, eggs and egg yolks and sugar. Stir to combine.
Add water and almond extract stir to combine and set aside.
In a smaller bowl combine P.A.N cornmeal, Ground Almonds, Flour, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, in thirds, until combined.
Pour into a greased cake pan and bake for 25 mins until risen and golden brown.
Allow to cool completely, then invert cake and place upside down on a cake stand. Inverting the cake will give you a nice presentation. Dust with powdered sugar.
Prepare the whipped cream. In a bowl of an electric mixer whip together cups of heavy cream, sugar, vanilla and zest. Continue to whip on high until soft peaks form.
Cut cake into 8 slices and top with 2 orange segments and a dollop of orange scented whipped cream on the side. Enjoy!
Love Beth's approach to recipes - such ease.
I love this recipe so much! I love how all the colors just come together! Good job. Beth!
i’ve never seen a more perfect piece of cake
Im a loyal Entertaining with Beth fan and im from Venezuela! Where P.A.N was invented and its part of the making of one of our most traditional foods, Arepas!!
Letswatchsomevid I love arepas! They're right up there with tamales and sweet roasted corn as my favourite corn dishes.
Letswatchsomevid YAY! I've never made a Arepas but after working with P.A.N I keep hearing about them and now want to try them out! :)
you make baking so easy and addictive..Thank you beth..Love from Tunisia
This looks delicious! Can't believe how simple this recipe is! Thanks Beth.
Sarah Bolen Right?! Easy peasy! :)
Entertaining With Beth I just finished a great
Beth, this cake looks delicious. Can't wait to try it. Thank you so much for sharing.
How elegantly simple and beautiful. The cake looks deliciously moist and tender. I can't wait to try it! Thanks for sharing! Love & Prayers.
Another winner Beth! Thank you for being my favorite cook on You Tube :)
I love you Beth, you make cooking and baking FUN!..thank you.. gonna try it out!
You make my mouth water with every video! How are you not on the food network?? I would totally watch your show if you had one! I love your videos so much!
This looks beyond amazing beth ! I hope I can try this during the warm summer nights !
I can't believe our signature Corn meal have gone so far.! PAN is a classic flour to make the typical Venezuelan dish, la AREPA!.. awesome!!!
WINNER OF A RECIPE!!!!👒
Hey Beth........this cornmeal sounds amazing......orange and almond, oh my goodness what a tasty looking cake. What lovely photos, thanks so much for sharing :)
Hunnie B yes lots of great memories those photos bring back :) This is such an easy tasty cake! A great one for the dessert repertoire :) Enjoy!
I love your recipes thanks
Hi Beth, again! Grazie mille for a wonderful recipe. Blessings for sharing, what a lovely combination of these 3 flours, they did worked well.😙what a delicious cake.
You are so welcome! I'm so glad it was a hit! :)
Entertaining With Beth I love this one Beth ! Looks soo summery and citrusy and light and good ! =)
And this combo of orange, a bit tart and bitter with the sweetness of almonds, it can only be great !
Thanks !
Roddie62 It's a yummy one and SOOOO easy too! OK Rodrique I have a question for you. I'm getting ready to shoot my Cherry Clafoutis recipe this weekend (YAY!) and my husband and I were debating how to serve it. When I make it I bake it in a large skillet and then "spoon" out portions in a shallow bowl and top with chantilly. But my husband always laughs and said "you would never do this in France! It would need to be sliced like a cake"! True or false? :)
Looks perfect! Thank you so much for another great recipe Beth! I am hungry now for something sweet :)
Woah this look amazing!! Can't wait to try it.. Thanks for the recipe Beth
Beth you are so clever!!
I'm am going to try this out very soon!!! Thank you Beth!!!,
Michelle Perez Oh yes please do I think you'll really love it :)
This was absolutely delicious Beth! I was unable to find PAN so I used polenta that had been finely ground in a coffee grinder. Thank you for sharing!
Yay! So glad it was a hit! Great idea with the coffee grinder :)
Just made it today! I am soo happy with results! Thank you for the great recipe!!
Hi Beth,
I made this cake for my church and they all loved it. It was all gone. The only thing was that I couldn’t find the pan so I used instant yellow corn masa flour. It turn out moist and delicious. Thanks for sharing.
I had to look for it. It is in with the Hispanic section, not the cornmeal section of the store.
Do you think I can use cake flour?
Wow Beth, what a great way to use Harina PAN. I loved this video.. :)
This is something new! I've never used harina pan in any sweet dish except for mandocas :p
i really like your videos! your recipes are always on point and your voice is so calming! definitely gonna try this one! love from Greece
Amazing I tried the chicken with broccoli and rice it was amazing my in-laws and husband really loved it thanks so much
Sunita Singh So glad it was a hit!! Isn't that a yummy one?! :)
I made this recipe, using PAN for the first time, an interesting product. I baked it in a 9" pan. The center did collapse a little, not sure why, maybe it was that I am at a higher altitude. Or maybe I should have used an 8" pan (the recipe doesn't state the size). I sprayed the pan, added a disk of parchment paper, and sprayed that too; the cake came out easily. Cutting the disk is easy, here is how I do it: instead of tracing with a pen, I put the pan on parchment on a plastic cutting board. I then use a box know and trace around the pan. Very easy, and perfect results. I did not garnish with orange or serve with whipped cream, but it was good anyway.
Added 9/15/18: Made this a second time. This time I added a can of apricot halves, drained, and placed on top. I think that while it added a bit of zing to the cake, it also kept it from baking evenly, so next time I would smoosh them down inside the batter around the cake. I baked it for 35 min. This second time, the center collapsed the same way the first time did.
Love this quick and easy dessert recipe! Looks like it's a pIece of cake. :)
***** Ha! Oh it is!!
Just made this today and... Yuuum 😋
I fudged up tiny bit on the egg step but all in all it still came out great. Separated it into 2 small round pans just to give one cake away.
So glad it was a hit! :) How nice of you to give one away :)
Awesome.cake Beth.
This is my next to bake cake, after the pistachio cake, Madeleine's, chocolate and pesto puffs, marble cake, apple spice cake, creme brûlée, cappuccino muffins and other superb goodies.
I tried the Madelines and they were awesome
so simple and perfect
Wonderful! I'll definitely try this one out!
Thank you.
Beth, your recipes are always nice and beyond complementing, I really wish if do the petit four recipe , please please please do.
Ha! I know those do sound tempting for spring! But to be honest, Ive never done them so I'll have to put a little research in! But now I'm curious how to do it! :) Stay tuned I'll look into that!
@@EntertainingWithBeth thank you very much
I happen to have a bag of PAN in my cupboard. I bought it for another recipe which I never made. I will try your cake though. Looks so good.
Hope you enjoy it! It's really light and yummy and great for any special occasion! :)
Another awesome video! Thanks so much for showing me so many of your wonderful recipes!
Silver Duckling Aww thanks so much for watching :) Always appreciate the support!! xx
Hi I'm a new subscriber from Australia!!! Love love your videos and how you explain everything so well especially for me as a first time and leaner of cooking and baking!! Thumbs up x 1000000
+dachetz Aww so glad you found me :) WELCOME to the channel! Yes you'll find I try to keep everything pretty easy to make it fun (and practical!) for beginners :) Hope you enjoy!
Hello thank 💐
Beth, congrats for this amazing cake. I love its texture, so smooth and delicate. Perfect with a cup of tea. I have PAN in my pantry, so i have to try this.
One question Beth, do you have a video about how to make Polenta? I have a package of it as well, and i´ve never used it before.
Thanks!
Patricia.
Love it! This kind of reminds me of olive oil cake! ^_^
Hi Beth, I was wondering if you could make a video of how to make a cookie cake, my boyfriend's birthday is this Wednesday and he doesn't like cake, I've seen a lot of videos but trust you more lol thank you, love all your videos!! Xoxo
Thank you ......i wil make it and i let you know.....i loooove your channel😘
Awe thank you!! So glad you enjoy it! :)
That's a good idea I only use pan to make arepas
New follower here-I love your easy breezy approach to cooking and entertaining! Do you grind the almonds yourself or ever use almond meal? Thanks?
Hi, Beth. Your almond cake looks absolutely gorgeous. It's perfect for my birthday on April 19. What did you enjoy about making your almond cake? Have a good day, Beth. Thank you for making your videos, beautiful, adorable, and very special. I hope you make my No Bake Cherry Tart soon. Take care, sweetie. 💟💟💟
Looks good! Could you maybe do a Lemon Square recipe in the future? :D
amazing video as always. I just wonder which size did you use for the cake pan. I love your videos
Oh sure it’s a 9 inch cake pan. So glad you enjoy the videos! :)
Thank you
Could you also make a sort of orange glaze to pour over the cake so it soaks up the orange flavor instead? Or would that make for a weird or overpowering flavor/texture? Great recipe!
amertume Oh sure that would be fantastic too! :) Love that idea!
What a beautiful orange cake, Beth, and you look so pretty in yellow, my lovely friend who loves making French cuisine. When are you going to make a chocolate cherry cake? Stay safe, sweetheart.
That's one awesome looking cake, Beth. Just curious, can I just use fine cornmeal in place of the harina P.A.N?
Doodah Gurl Yes you could do that too :) Enjoy!
Can i subtitute corn flour with flour. Is the mesurement the same.
Beth, do you have an amazon page for kitchen ware? I don't have: a microwave, a Kitchen aid set, a food processor. Im single and live alone and cook very simply. Im so bored with my food and want to level up so I won't be embarrassed if I ever cook for anyone else. What do I really need and what is extra? I just use the oven and stovetop at the moment. Your videos are wonderful to teach me cooking. Thank you so much!
Oh sure here is My Amazon Page with all my favorite products :) www.amazon.com/shop/entertainingwithbeth and here are a few videos that will help you "level up" Ha! Best of luck to you!

Hi Beth. I want to bake this cake. Would Ameretto or an Italian orange liquor in place of orange zest?
I'm thrilled to see P.A.N in a recipe other than "arepas"! I'm from Colombia where we have a variety of dishes prepared with this ingredient.
I know it's such a great product to make so many more things with! I just love it for cakes like this :) So glad you enjoyed it! :)
Can u prep this the nite before
Hi I hope you are good' if I don't have harina can I use the sorghum bicolor
i so ant to try this recipe!
Hi there what can I replace with P.A.N because I can have it here in Singapore, thanks.
Ahh OK I would just use the same amount of corn meal or polenta. I hope you enjoy!
Thanks.
Nice recipe....CAN I USE PEANUTS...INSTEAD OF ALMONDS.... MERCI😘
Hmmm I've never tried this cake with peanuts before, but I don't see why it wouldn't work? If you try it let me know because now I'm curious! Ha! :)
what is the substitute for the harina p.a.n i never heard of that in my country ??
and we do have cornmeal here also!! will cornflour work?
Hazal Sarafoglu Yes cornflour would work too for this :) Enjoy!
Entertaining With Beth just made it today and it turns SUPER yummy everyone likes it
i actually didn't find either cornmeal or cornflour in my local supermarket so i try to substitute it with
Almond meal and it became delicious , thanks you so much and will do more of your recipes xoxo
will quick cooking polenta work as well as the P.A.N? I never heard of something like that in my country...
***** i've had success ordering things from amazon that i can't readily find in my area. not sure if you can or not, but it could be an option.
amazon almost never send to my country...
ahh shucks! ok, back to your original question;-).
***** Oh sure you could use quick cooking polenta too :) The texture would just be a bit more rustic. Perhaps throw it in the food processor first to grind it a bit finer? That's what I do sometimes with sugar to make it superfine when needed :)
Hi Beth. I have cornmeal that is labelled as Yellow Corn meal. Will it work for this cake too? In Quaker's brand!
+asha8517 Oh sure that will work too :) Enjoy!
Hi.. I wud want to bake this cake but we don't have Harina PAN in Delhi, India. Can you suggest a substitute for it?
I live in Thailand. Can I use normal corn meal/flour instead of PAN?
I don't think I can get P.A.N here where I live. Could I replace it with regular polenta?
It's not polenta, it's cornmeal
*cornmeal
Probably
LittleMissAnah yes of course that would be the traditional Italian way to make this dessert :) Enjoy!
P.A.N. is pre-cooked from the bag. I wonder if you would need to adjust anything to use polenta.
Hello Beth, I love watching your videos. Do you know where I could buy the brand name PAN? Is it available in any grocery stores?
MimiYu Oh sure I actually buy mine at Vallarta www.vallartasupermarkets.com/ but you can also buy it on amazon too! It's really great :) www.amazon.com/P-N-Harina-Blanca-Pre-cooked/dp/B004TDAPYU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436961445&sr=8-1&keywords=PAN+Corn+Meal
Kroger has it. It is in the Hispanic section, not the baking section.
Could I use almond flour? I'm trying to use the most of it (:
+Trisha Ngo Oh sure you could definitely use that :)
I don't know if it is distinguished in the grocery store, but there are two products out there, which I will call almond meal and almond flour. Beth used almond meal, which is more rustic and less refined and includes the the skins. Almond flour is made from skinless (blanched?) almonds. If you were to grind your own almonds, your result would be more like meal, but I used almond flour and it worked fine. I don't think there is much benefit to doing it yourself. By the way, if you are making macarons, using almond flour is a quick shortcut.
Can I substitue the polenta with samolina?
Can I use cake flour ?
Oh sure you could use cake flour too. No problem :)
I ended up using AP flour. Thanks this was a great cake.
Can I use a 9 inch springform pan?
That pan is fine, but consider lining it with parchment that is sprayed with pan spray.
What pan size have you used for this cake?
Oh sure it's a 9" cake pan. Hope that helps!
@@EntertainingWithBeth thanks love ... the cake looks so tempting..gona try this tomorrow for sure 💕💕
One more thing! What is the substitute of Herina pan? It is not availbe in my country 😑
CAN you please tell me What size the cake pan is?
malaika pooh Oh sure it's a 9" cake pan. :)
Could you sub Apple sauce instead of oil? When I make a normal cake that's what I use and it turns out sooo moist!
+Amanda Murphy oh sure you could try that :)
Nice
corn meal cakes are very traditional in romania, we use to make them simple, vanilla flavored, and serve them with sourcream and jam. it does taste great, but i am not very fond of the smell (plus, we use the same corn meal we make polenta with, lol)
Beth, what is or are the hardest cakes you have ever done?? Nice video btw
sorry I meant to say desserts
mc Oh sure the hardest has to be a Buche de Noel :) It french dessert served at Christmas time. It's beautiful and festive but takes forever! LOL! This may be the year I get to it on the channel though because every year I do get requests for it!:)
thanks:)
Hello Beth! Where you buy your sugar shaker? :)
Oh sure you can find it in my "Baking Essentials" Kit Shop here: Enjoy! kit.com/entertainingwithbeth/my-favorite-baking-essentials
WHY DO I WATCH THIS IM SO HUNGRY 😓 you're such a good baker😉
How many inches were your pan?
39th view 7th comment, 5 minutes. I feel special for some reason.
may i know what size of cake pan u used in the the video? can i use this recipe for an 8 by 8 inch square pan?
+Syazlina Aasim oh sure 8 x 8 would work. You may just need to bake it a bit longer. Say 5-8 mins more. Since I used a 9" pan which would be more shallow and require less baking time :) Enjoy!
Beth, I didn't notice the diameter of the baking pan you used in the recipe.. Help. please. :)
Is there a subsitute fir p.a.n. ?? Polenta??
Florencia Lin Yes polenta would work too :)
could you make orange chicken?! :D
rainbowunicorn M Great idea! Going on the list! :)
Looking forward to it ! Thankyou❤️ I also made the feed me fast chicken for my mom and I, and she loooooveed it!
Beth, is 3/4 cup of butter is 12 tablespoons of butter?
Raushan Muserova yes exactly or 1 stick + 1/2 a stick if you are in the US :)
Entertaining With Beth τιροπιτακια
So what do we do when you live outside the states like Jerusalem and u can’t find polenta or PAN !!!!
HELP, BETH! I'll be in Germany in two weeks and my partner told me that I'd have to help him plan a surprise barbeque for his mother. We're getting help from a french-german friend of the family. I was hopping to make something traditionally American but how can I hold my own in a kitchen with a woman from Provence?
Msbeeboper LOL! Oh my I can only imagine! You are a brave soul :) OK here is my classic American BBQ menu. All the favorites are represented! Can't go wrong with any of these! Enjoy! (and best of luck, keep me posted!) :) ua-cam.com/video/bXjZv_xK1w8/v-deo.html
do you live in Paris?
I actually live in the States :) But we spend a lot of time in France because my husband is French :)
Voilla
Hey Beth, i'm wondering what's your day job?
Oh man, thought this might've been gluten free. Unfortunately not.
Kaity Enockson you could totally make this gluten free my omitting the flour and using equal parts cornmeal and almond meal :) Enjoy!
Hi.. I wud want to bake this cake but we don't have Harina PAN in Delhi, India. Can you suggest a substitute for it?
