Notes
Optional Orange Glaze
This recipe doesn't call for icing, but a light glaze would be very nice on top. If you want to make a glaze for the cake, use icing sugar, enough orange juice to moisten it and a drop of almond flavoring (optional). Make the mixture thin enough that you can drizzle the icing on top of the cake. You don't need much as it's a small cake. I would start with 1/4 cup of icing sugar.Nutrition
