Orange & honey sponge cake

Recipes Cakes and Desserts
This cake brings the scent of winter afternoons. Honey not only sweetens but, due to its hygroscopic properties (absorbing water from the air), keeps the dough moist for days. The essential oils of the orange permeate the soft crumbs during baking.

Recipe FAQ
