Thoughts

I have been craving something with citrus, and I stumbled upon this wonderful recipe. I was afraid that the orange peel will be bitter or hard once the cake is finished, but that was not the case. The peel had a sweet flavor and was soft. The cake was moist and not overly sweet. I really enjoyed this cake, and it is perfect for this winter season when oranges are at every store and they taste delicious.

Enjoy and leave your thoughts in the comments!
