In the ongoing Christmas Recipe edition, I bring to you another lip-smacking dessert, the Spiced Orange Wreath Cake.
There are a plethora of recipes involving Orange on the blog and this Spiced Orange Wreath Cake will immediately become your absolute favorite like it became mine. Winters are the season for spices that create an explosion of flavors with each bite and also help to keep your body temperature stable with that of the outside temperature because the efficacy of spices is to make the internal body warm.
This Spiced Orange Wreath cake is perfect for holidays. It helps to battle the monotony of desserts that we keep on baking for gatherings and occasions and each bite has a generous sprinkle of a holiday or rather, Christmassy feeling.
This recipe is brought to you in association with SPRIG. As you guys would know, I use SPRIG products all the time. I love their products because the quality is highly indubitable. They have made my work easier manifolds and I always ensure that there are SPRIG products very well stocked in my refrigerator all the time. For this beautiful Spiced Orange Wreath Cake, I have used Natural Bourbon Vanilla and Coconut Palm Sugar with a quartet of spices.
