In our latest Zoom session, our home cooks made a delicious orange cake together. But not just any orange cake! This orange cake was special as it uses the whole orange, peel and all to make a cake with the most amazing texture and flavour. Using all of the orange is a great example of how we can #CookEveryPart in our kitchens. We also made gorgeous candied orange peel and a lemon syrup for decoration.
