Pound cake with oranges

The cake is creamy yet airy, just as a good cake should be. The flavor is mild and slightly fresh, you can taste the orange and the glaze made with fresh orange juice finishes it off.

It’s a simple cake because it’s easy to make and you don’t need much. The cake batter is easy to make and mainly a matter of mixing. Within half an hour you can have this orange cake in the oven. After baking, let it cool for a while, glaze it and enjoy!

Baking with fruit

Just like in this recipe, fruits are very versatile in baking recipes. A little zesty citrus or fresh fruits adds the perfect touch of freshness to a sweet treat. This apple sheet cake with cinnamon streusel is a great example of how great fruit works when added to baked goods, just like my peach galette and of course.. this amazing orange cake.
