MESKOUTA (MOROCCAN ORANGE CAKE)



Meskouta (Moroccan Orange Cake) image

A traditional Moroccan cake typically served for tea or breakfast, meskouta is made with ingredients you likely have on hand, and it doesn't require a mixer. Extra-virgin olive oil makes it moist on the inside and golden on the outside. The cake is excellent on its own, but for something really special, add whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons/150 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil, more for greasing the pan
2 cups/260 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons/180 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons/180 grams Greek-style yogurt
Zest of 2 oranges (about 2 tablespoons)
1/3 cup/80 milliliters fresh orange juice (from about 1 orange)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup/180 milliliters heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Dark chocolate, for shaving with a vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 8½-by-4½-inch loaf pan with olive oil, and line it with a sheet of parchment paper so that you have extra on the sides. (You'll use this to lift the loaf out of the pan.)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well combined. In another large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined. Add the yogurt, olive oil, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture, and whisk until well incorporated.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix using a spatula until you no longer see flecks of flour, making sure not to overmix. (The batter will be slightly lumpy.) Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and use a spatula to spread into an even layer.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with some small, moist crumbs. (If the cake needs another minute or two, but is becoming too brown, tent with foil.) Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before using the parchment overhang to remove from the pan.
  • Make the optional whipped cream: Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk the cream and the confectioners' sugar for about 2 to 3 minutes on medium-high until medium peaks begin to form. You want a spreading consistency. Cover and keep in the fridge until ready to serve the cake.
  • To serve, cut the cake in slices, top with whipped cream, if using, and garnish with chocolate shavings, if using. Alternatively, you can also top the whole cake with whipped cream, then slice it. Without the whipped cream, the cake keeps for up to 5 days in an airtight container on the counter.

½ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting, or as needed
2 (8 ounce) packages semi-sweet chocolate squares, coarsely chopped
½ cup butter
5 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup chocolate chips
¼ cup crushed almonds
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed
½ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Grease a 9-inch springform pan and dust with 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • Melt chopped chocolate squares and butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Whisk egg yolks and vanilla extract together in a large bowl.
  • Gradually whisk chocolate and butter mixture into egg yolk mixture until well blended.
  • Beat egg whites in a separate bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat sugar into egg whites until sugar dissolves and egg whites hold stiff peaks.

PASSOVER CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE



Passover Chocolate Mousse Cake image

This flourless chocolate cake for Passover has just four ingredients-dark chocolate, sugar, eggs, and butter-and is incredibly easy to whip up.

Provided by Benedetta Jasmine Guetta

Yield Makes one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 5

10.5 oz. (300 g) dark chocolate, preferably 60 to 70% cacao
6 Tbsp. (90 g) unsalted butter, margarine, or dairy-free butter substitute
6 large (300 g) eggs, separated
¼ cup plus 3 Tbsp. (90 g) sugar
Chocolate shavings, for decoration (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan with parchment paper.
  • Break up or chop the chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl with the butter or margarine. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and allow the chocolate and butter to melt, stirring occasionally. When everything has melted, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • In the meantime, put the egg yolks in a large bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, whip the egg whites to very firm peaks, about 5 minutes.
  • When the melted chocolate mixture has cooled, add it to the egg yolks, along with the sugar, and whisk well.
  • Using a rubber spatula, stir about one-third or less of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Carefully spoon another third of the egg whites on top of the chocolate mixture and gently fold them in. Add the remaining whites and fold them in just until incorporated.
  • Transfer half of the batter to another bowl and set aside in the refrigerator.
  • Pour the remaining batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes: it will turn into a soft, moist cake. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
  • When the cake has reached room temperature, pour the reserved chocolate mousse on top of it. Refrigerate the mousse cake, uncovered, for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until set.
  • When you're ready to serve, run a sharp thin-bladed knife around the cake's edges and then remove the sides of the springform pan. Peel the paper from the bottom, and place the cake on a serving platter. Serve cold, decorated with chocolate shavings, if desired.
  • Leftover cake will keep in the refrigerator, wrapped in aluminum foil, for a couple of days.
