Sicilian Orange Cake & Cheese Cream Frosting

Sicilian Orange Cake & Cheese Cream Frosting

Overview

The recipe for this cake originally came from Daisy's Sina blog. This cake was once very popular, and most people who made it praised it. I have been collecting it for a long time, but I have never started making it. I feel that there is too much butter and it is heavy on the body. This time, because of the welfare of Sohu self-media people, I got a tasting experience of Chu Cheng. Looking at such good oranges, I had the desire to use Chu Cheng to make Sicilian orange cake. This is also thanks to the cooperation between Sohu We Media and Womai.com, which gave me the opportunity to have the impulse to practice the Sicilian orange cake that I have long wanted. This cake actually doesn't taste greasy at all and is so delicious that you can't stop eating it. The aroma of orange and cream echo each other, making you feel happy every time you take a bite! This cake looks a bit like a pound cake and is very easy and convenient to make. Because of the addition of orange peel, you can smell the rich orange aroma during the baking process. It is very rare that ingredients alone can achieve this effect! Because the addition of orange peel and orange juice makes it taste very fresh, even butter-based cakes do not taste greasy. Sicilian orange cake, different from chiffon and sponge cake, this Sicilian orange cake looks like a pound cake, and the taste is closer. After adding orange juice, it is not as sweet as the previous pound cake. You can feel the softness and sweetness of Sicilian orange cake in every bite you take!
