TWD/BWD: Orange Spice Cake

 


If you're looking for a quick and easy one-bowl cake to celebrate the holidays, Dorie's Orange Spice Cake is for you! 

 

The spices are mild, but are a good compliment to the orange flavor.  The cake is reminiscent of a traditional pound cake with a similar texture and shape, and it's even tastier the next day.  I can also say with some authority that it disappeared very quickly!



 

There's an optional orange marmalade glaze to brush on top of the cake, and, while I omitted it, the consensus from the other bakers was that this was the best part!  Guess I'll have to make it again.  My orange tree is loaded and the fruit is finally ripe, so it will only take a quick trip to the backyard.  

To read the opinions of the other bakers, head over to the Tuesdays with Dorie website.

Looks like a nice cake! I am envious of your orange tree...I have had one for 20+ years and it got that dreaded greening disease and had to be removed by the Dept. of Agriculture...ugh. I miss it so much!

Your cake rose so beautifully. I am glad the group liked it.
