Oranges are awesome. They're tangy, sweet, packed with vitamin C, and ah yes not that expensive :) Also Oranges dont go bad soon. Which is why I bought a whole 2kg bag of yummy Oranges the other day. So today, I decided to make a juicy Orange cake. There are hundreds of Orange cake recipes on the internet, and I followed this one here . I did make some changes though: I added only about 100g butter instead of the 125g since someone had commented the cake was a little heavy, and I needed a light airy one. And I added a spicy twist by adding some freshly grounded cinnomen and nutmeg (warning : too much of nutmeg will make you tipsy) Plus, I used a little more Orange zest and juice than is called for in the recipe. And... the reuslt is: A lovely golden Orange cake baked just right :) Instead of icing, I punctured the cake while still warm and poured Orange syrup all over it. Let it soak in for a few minutes, and enjoy with some hot tea, or with a dollop of whipped crea...
Just some random arrows of thought...
