TEQUILA SUNRISE CAKE RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 degrees. Bundt pan - well greased and floured. In a mixing bowl mix together the dry ingredients - flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar and orange zest until light and fluffy - about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add sour cream. Add flour mixture and orange juice to the mixer in 3 alternating additions. On low speed stir in the tequila and the curacao. Pour 2/3 of the batter into the bundt pan. To the remaining batter, add the pomegranate juice and the red food coloring. Make a slight well in the center of the first layer of batter in the pan. Spoon the second layer of batter into the well. Bake 40-45 minutes or until golden brown or until a pick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let cool 10 min in the pan then invert cake onto cooling rack with a piece of parchment underneath the rack. In a small pan over medium heat mix the sugar and orange juice until sugar dissolves - about 2 minutes. Remove from heat add the curacao and powdered sugar. When the cake is almost at room temperature, spoon the glaze gently over the cake allowing it to absorb as much as it can. Top with the optional pomegranate seeds. Remove to a decorative platter and serve.

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and heat to 350°F. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan with cooking spray. Dust the pan lightly with flour then tap out any excess.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the orange zest and vanilla. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir with a whisk to combine. Use a silicone spatula to gently fold half the flour mixture into the butter mixture just until incorporated. Add the orange juice and stir until combined. Fold in the remaining flour mixture until all the dry ingredients are moistened.
• Transfer half the batter to a medium bowl. Add the pomegranate juice and a few drops of red food coloring. Stir with a whisk until well blended. And the tequila to the remaining batter and whisk until well combined.
• Using a 2-inch cookie scoop, drop alternating colors of batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan on the counter one or two times to remove any air pockets. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few dry crumbs.
• Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Combine the sugar and orange juice in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat. Stir in the tequila and confectioners' sugar until smooth.
• Use a pastry brush to brush the glaze all over the surface of the cake. Slice and serve with pomegranate seeds.
