TEQUILA SUNRISE CAKE

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.

TEQUILA SUNRISE FREEZER POPS

Steps:

• Prepare 7 push-up pop molds by placing a Styrofoam block or blocks on a small baking tray. Insert 7 pop molds into the Styrofoam. Set aside.
• For the grenadine jelly: Combine the grenadine and cold water in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Sprinkle the gelatin over top and allow it to bloom for 5 minutes. Slowly melt the gelatin by microwaving it in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until just smooth and dissolved. Refrigerate while you prepare the semifreddo.
• For the orange tequila semifreddo: Whip the cream to soft peaks with a whisk. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Combine the softened cream cheese and orange zest in a medium bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula until smooth. Mix in the confectioners' sugar. Whisk in the orange juice and tequila. Whisk in the pasteurized egg yolks. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer.
• Remove the whipped cream and grenadine gelatin from the refrigerator.
• Fold the strained orange mixture into the whipped cream. Fill each mold 3/4 full with the orange semifreddo.
• Gently pour the grenadine mixture into each mold, filling each to the top. The grenadine mixture will take a few minutes to settle to the bottom. Once it has, take a long bamboo skewer or chopstick and gently stir it. Place the molds into the freezer until frozen, at least 3 hours.
