Lazy winter weekends are my favorite time of the year to bake up a storm while huddled in my tiny apartment. The preheated oven provides ample warmth, while a few stray chocolate chips or a bowl of leftover brownie batter are just the trick for staving off the cold-weather blues.
This weekend I’m adding a tangy twist to my dessert spread by baking up a Key Lime Coconut Cake. And if the citrus burst via slice of cake isn’t enough to transport me to a tropical island, then I’m resorting to Grapefruit Macarons, which sandwich grapefruit marmalade between light and crunchy wafers.
What is your favorite way to bake with citrus?
Hi,
The link to the Key Lime Coconut Cake doesn’t work.
Lemon shortbread sandwhich cookies – my grandmother’s recipe, and delicious! Sometimes I make them with clementine instead of lemon.
For Valentine’s Day, I made a frozen orange mousse for dessert. It was easy to make and presented nicely in scooped out orange shells. BF was quite impressed.
Orange Marmalade Cake. I love the freshness the orange juice in the tangy buttermilk batter cake brings. Layered with the orange marmalade and fluffy white sour cream icing.
One of my favorite cakes of all time is Orange almond cake, which has no oil and no flour.
Tthe height comes from whipping the egg whites and the moistness from ground almonds.
