ORANGE POUND CAKE

Fragrant, moist, and tender Orange Pound Cake flavored with freshly squeezed orange juice and orange zest.

ITS BACK TO BASICS WITH THIS POUND CAKE, WITH A TWIST ON FLAVOR. THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL POST….AS IT WAS MADE BY MY DAUGHTER, ZOYA. THIS CAKE IS SUPER SIMPLE TO MAKE BUT FILLED WITH ROBUST CITRIC FLAVOR. ITS ONE OF ZOYAS FAVORITE.

SO SHE DECIDED TO MAKE IT FOR HER DAD!!❤️ AND I MUST ADD WITHOUT ANY HELP, WELL EXCEPT HELP WITH THE OVEN AND TAKING THE PICTURE.

This pound cake is such a treat to have for breakfast or even a slice with tea in the evening.

I just refreshed the pictures of this orange pound cake recipe, which was one of my very first recipes on the blog. After almost 3 years blogging (it seems that I have been blogging my entire life already), the time has come to take care of my old recipes for which pictures didn’t give enough credit.

This orange pound cake is the perfect example. I have baked this recipe a hundred times already (probably more actually). It’s super easy, takes you 10 minutes max to prepare, and it tastes amazing: fragrant, moist, tender with a wonderful fresh and delicate taste of orange.

And the good thing with this orange pound cake is that you can actually add a new twist to the recipe each time you bake it: adding a hint of cinnamon, some walnuts, cranberries, chocolate chips… or also melt one tablespoon of cocoa powder with half of the batter and it will become a wonderful marble cake. There are plenty of options depending on your mood, your tastes, and the ingredients you have at hand.
