Orange Cake
Feeling really guilty about eating chocolate? Why not try this tasty Orange Cake as a substitute. You'll still be getting your cake, but you'll feel better because you'll be getting your fruit, too. Am I grasping as straws here? You betcha!
Now, how about a little silliness with this recipe? If you're really getting into this baking thing, how about going back to nature and getting your ingredients direct from the earth. Want a really fresh orange cake? Try growing your own oranges. I know, I know, I'm being ridiculous here.
