A Citrus-Lover’s Delight
Enjoy the rich flavors of our lemon and orange cake. It’s a favorite for those who love citrus. Inspired by Morocco’s sunny citrus groves, this cake is full of zesty smells.
The secret is the candied orange peel mixed into the sponge. It gives the cake a unique tangy flavor. Plus, it looks beautiful on top, making the cake even more inviting.
We top the cake with tangy citrus curd and soft meringue frosting. The curd brings a burst of freshness, and the frosting is light and fluffy. This balances the cake’s flavors perfectly.
For a special finish, you could torch the meringue. It creates a caramel top for extra crunch. With every bite, you’ll taste the perfect blend of tangy and sweet. This treat is a must-try for anyone who adores citrus.
