Orange Raisin Cake
Oranges make me smile. They are so bright and beautiful, I just can’t help bringing them home. However, I’m one of those people who buys these wonderful oranges and watches them slowly dry up sitting on my counter top. My reason is simple – its such a darn hard fruit to eat! The effort involved in peeling and eating an orange is too much for me; especially when I generally have the easy-to-eat apple and banana sitting right next to it. For weeks I torture myself as I watch my beautiful orange turn into a wrinkly hard brown ball.
But, no longer do my oranges need to suffer! No longer do I have to throw out the skeletal remains of what once held my happiness. This recipe makes it so easy to use up an entire orange. That’s right, it uses the ENTIRE orange – zest, pulp and juice. I guess you could say that this recipe is “green”.
I hope this recipe helps you find a mouthwatering way to save your orange today.
