Directions
Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cold cubed butter, orange zest, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Pulse again until the dough starts to come together. Gradually add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough forms into a ball. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit your tart pan. Carefully transfer the dough to a greased 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the pan and trim off any excess.
Blind Bake the Crust: Line the tart shell with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights, then bake for an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden. Allow the crust to cool slightly.
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until well combined. Stir in the freshly squeezed orange juice, orange zest, and heavy cream until smooth.
Assemble and Bake: Pour the filling mixture into the pre-baked tart shell. Return the tart to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
Cool and Garnish: Allow the orange tart cake to cool completely in the tart pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with orange slices and mint leaves if desired.
Serve: Slice the tart into wedges and serve at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Orange Tart Cake!
Conclusion
This tart cake is a delightful combination of buttery crust and tangy orange filling, perfect for any dessert table or special occasion. Enjoy!
