| A piece of My Special Orange Cake With Creamy Orange Icing |
In case you missed it, I launched the South Tex Organics large combo box of citrus review and giveaway. And as promised, I wanted to show you how to make use out every delicious aspect of their incredible citrus from fruit to peel.
This simple recipe that I want to share with you uses both orange and orange peel to create a cake bursting with so much orange flavor unlike any others you may have tasted. Topped with a creamy white icing that is speckled with finely grated peel provide the extra measure of sunny orange flavor that compliments this cake to new heights.
If you don't have a rasper to grate your peel, you could use the fine side of a cheese grater. Check out a rasper because this tool grates a finer peel that makes a recipe ooze with more orange flavor than any other gadget to remove that rind.
