| Iced Orange Cake |
I made this cake last weekend and it came out so moist and soft.The orange flavour just lifted up the cake and the aroma of the cake was so good. I had a small piece left over and I tasted it the next day and it was so yummy,This cake get better the next day.The icing I made is a simple orange icing which was yummy,but you could make any icing you want.Since the cake has orange zest and orange juice it keeps well for 3-4 days..This is one of Rachael Allen’s recipe..I added some orange juice into it...You could even add some nuts in this..I send this recipe to Savitha from savitha’s kitchen who is hosting the event “Veggie/Fruit a Month:Orange”.This event is originally started by Priya...This also goes to the Event “Celebrate Sweet-Cakes” guest hosted by Sonia from Dinner Recipes from Sonia’s kitchen.This is originally started by Nivedita of Nivedita’s Kitchen
