To make the candied orange slices, bring 1 1/2 cups water and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil. Add 1 navel orange (sliced 1/4 inch thick) and simmer for 30 minutes. Transfer the slices to a rack to cool.
I followed the recipe as written. It turned out perfect. I loved the spices and the way the orange frosting compliments them. I will be making this again (and again). Thank you!
I haven't tried this yet, but I wish to do it in a coulple of months. The only thing is that I live at sea level. Do I have to make a modification for this recipe regarding that? Can anyone help me regarding this, please? I'm dying to make this cake!
First time I make this recipe! It’s a keeper and definitely worth the time and effort! 😎 The moisture and density of the cake reminds of me carrot cake but more zesty! The frosting is just so very amazing! I’ve never made anything like it! So fluffy, smooth and not too rich! Just like an orange cream you can eat by the spoonfuls! Also agree with Kristis21 that it made much more frosting than I’d like to put on the cake. No worries! I jarred and refrigerated it to be used on Toast for the morning instead of jam or butter (frosting has both butter and fruit zest). Was also thinking of layering inside sandwhich cookies and/or top on a scoop of chocolate ice créam! Agree with Lainey on pairing the Chocolate and orange flavors... Mmm!!! Either way, it won’t go to waste! I’ll top it on my latte in the morning if I have to! 😜🤤
