Chef tips
To get the most flavor from your oranges, zest them directly into the sugar and rub it in with your fingers. The essential oils released will give your cake a deep, heavenly aroma. For a festive touch, drizzle with a glaze of powdered sugar and a splash of orange blossom water. Kids will love helping sprinkle toasted sliced almonds on top for a delightful crunch.
