Notes

For a different flavor, try using lemon or lime juice instead of orange. This cake stays fresh for up to 3 days in an airtight container. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months; just wrap individual slices well. Consider adding nuts or extra spices for a unique twist. Enjoy it warm or with a scoop of ice cream!
