This is the season to be jolly and indulge! It is also the time to make fancy and elaborate desserts. This is a Spiced Orange Cake, spiced with all the warm spices to make it all things fuzzy and festive.

I filled the layers with mascarpone frosting and oranges poached in the indulgent Bellissima from Big Banyan. The Bellissima is a brilliant shade of yellow with hues of amber and hints of light green. It feels nothing short of liquid sunshine.

I think this Spiced Orange Cake makes for a great Christmas cake!

  • 2 cups all purpose flour (maida)
