Orange Wedding Cake-14715-3 small.jpg

ORANGE, ALMOND & ROSE WATER CAKE

I served this cake to my guests on our wedding day. It is incredibly orangey and moist and only contains a few ingredients! It also happens to be gluten free. A great make ahead cake as it stays incredibly moist, best kept in the fridge.
