The oranges with red wine syrup and orange pound cake are a combination of orange and red wine that creates an exotic and innovative dessert. The orange pound cake's spongy texture and fresh orange juice flavor provide the perfect balance to the red wine syrup's tartness, making it a well-blended dessert. Thick slices of oranges make a rustic, informal presentation that can be jazzed up with a few sprigs of fresh mint, cherry, or any other seasonal fruit.

Instructions

1.In a large saucepan, bring the red wine, granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup orange juice to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add vanilla bean and orange rind peel. Simmer until the mixture thickens and reduces to 1 cup, which takes about 35 minutes. Once done, remove from heat, discard the vanilla bean, and stir in the butter to melt it. Let it cool.
2.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3.Butter and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
4.In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt.
5.In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 1 stick of butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add 1 tablespoon orange juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Now, gradually mix in the flour mixture until the batter is smooth.
6.Pour batter into the bundt pan and bake for about 35 minutes, or until it is golden brown on top and a toothpick or tester comes out clean. Let the cake cool for a few minutes in the pan before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7.Using a handheld electric mixer, beat the mascarpone, 2 tablespoons sugar, and orange-flavored liqueur until smooth.
8.Cut off the top and bottom of each orange. Cut off the peel and pith by carving from top to bottom around the fruit, exposing the orange flesh. Slice the fruit crosswise into thin rounds, removing any seeds or pithy membranes. Repeat with the remaining oranges.
9.Spoon the marscapone mixture onto dessert plates. Top with a few orange slices. Spoon some of the wine syrup atop each and garnish with the orange zest from the fruit sections.
