X Mas Spcl: Orange Cake With Chocolate
It's been a while I baked a fancy cake and I was craving to make one. I love to make layer cakes once in a while as they gives me a sense of satisfaction. When the cake is done, I keep opening the refrigerator and keep looking at it and try to figure out what else can be done to beautify it more, until it's time to cut it.
This time, I decided to make an orange cake as I had a few oranges lying in the fruit basket and they looked so lovely and vibrant. Paired with the green leaves, they were a treat to eyes. Settled on this cake recipe which is my companion for years and added orange juice and zest to the original recipe to give a nice refreshing flavor to the cake.
Chocolate and orange go hand in hand, so made a chocolate whipped cream to frost the cake. The cake turned out very moist and soft and the frosting was light and airy. I also used the candied orange peel, I made the other day to decorate the cake. It also gave a slight crunch in each bite. Here is how I made this cake.
