This cake is an adaptation of two different recipes. First, making the orange sugar is definitely a game-changer. By pulsing together orange peel and sugar, you release so many of the orange’s oils – even more prominent that adding orange zest.

The cake takes little time to prepare, and it cakes fairly quick. You can serve it as is, or with a dollop of greek yogurt and blackberries.

This cake is light, not overly sweet, and with the addition of the orange peel with a bold orange flavor, perfect to serve with coffee or tea.
