This Orange Blossom Cake is so scrumptious and fragrant, thanks to the fresh orange juice, zest and orange blossom water. It’s simple to put together and just the thing to have when you’re expecting company!
I first came to know about Orange Blossom water while living here in New York City. I was inside a tiny Lebanese store, filled with imported foods and ingredients. I was already familiar with rose water, having used it for a Turkish cake (recipe here), but I’d never used orange blossom water before. Without knowing what I was going to do with it, I bought a bottle and brainstormed all the things I could use it in. As well as cookies, I knew I wanted to incorporate the orange blossom water in a cake. So I played around with some recipes, and came up with this one! This orange blossom cake is moist and so flavourful. It has a gorgeous lightness to it, thanks to the whipped egg whites.
