Orange Blossom Cakes
Don’t worry however if you can’t find Orange Blossom Water. You can still bake these cakes by making a few substitutions, so all is not lost. When you are baking with it you can use very finely grated orange zest or 2-3 of drops of orange oil as an alternative. The water is quite delicate so the zest of 1/2 to 1 full orange should be enough for most recipes.
I have never been in an orange grove and smelled real orange blossoms, but every time I open my bottle of orange flower water and inhale its fragrance . . . I am transported to an exotic place. Well, in my head anyways!
Its a little bit of heaven in a bottle. That’s what it is. These little cakes smell like a little bit of heaven when they are baking. The WI used a baby bundt cake muffin tin to bake theirs, but I don’t have one of those. (Something to put on my wish list I guess!)
Altogether they were quite pretty irregardless and really, really delicious! I enjoyed one on the day with a nice cup of herbal tea. Oh boy was it ever tasty! I highly recommend!
