ORANGE CHIFFON GLAZED CAKE

Citrus, here we go!

This recipe is my special favourite as it has eggs that bake a light , airy and fluffy cake. I always buy the fresh juicy oranges and not the canned orange juice as fresh oranges give freshness to the cake and you can smell it from miles away! The best thing about this cake is the delicious aroma that finds home in the kitchen while I bake it. I don’t see this recipe going egg less!

I think this cake can not be finished with out the orange flavoured glaze. To add a little touch to the cake, you can add orange slices on top for decoration.

This cake is best served with morning and evening tea or you can take it with you while travelling for those untimely hunger pangs! Try this decadent cake and let me know if you enjoyed it as much as I did. Do share your creation of this cake.
