Orange Cake
The beauty of this cake is the syrup that is poured over the cake while the cake is hot that gives it the crunchy topping as it cools. I realized over the years that this syrup also protects the cake and maintains it's moisture. Before pouring the syrup over the cake, you may poke a skewer over several places of the cake... Allowing the syrup to absorb into the cake making it more moist... Lovely!
