Who could have thought orange could compete with chocolate?But it can and how?! If chocolate cake is the deep dark secret then this is the bright sunny morning.If chocolate is the yin then this is the yang.Equally decadent in the most opposite way!

I present to you a simple Orange Pound Cake with an orange glaze.Let me warn you first thought.Make lots of it.Dont even think of making half the recipe cause for sure nothing would be left by the time your guests arrive.I speak from experience!

It’s a cake so humble in its name and looks but the taste is out of the world!

I usually avoid glazes on cakes but this cake becomes something else when glazed so definitely definitely put in some extra effort to glaze the cake.

As for the baking process.I baked it in a budnt pan but you can use any pan you want but please please as with any recipe keep checking the cake midway.Every oven is different so always check the cake midway from outside and see whether its burning or not.If its burning from the top or it’s too brown but is uncooked inside you need to cover the cake with aluminium foil and cook more.If the cake has not cooked after the stipulated time in the recipe cook for 10 more minutes and check the cake.
