ORANGE CHIFFON CAKE

ORANGE CHIFFON CAKE
          Oranges and lemons
                Sold for a penny
             All the school girls
                    Are so many
                 The grass is green
          And the rose 🌹is red
Remember me till I am dead dead dead
            Do you remember this song you sang in school as a little kid 😂. Now make this elegant and delicious cake loaded with the goodness of oranges for your loved ones and impress them .
                This spongy cake bursts with the aroma and flavour of  Oranges in every bite . The addition of orange 🍊 zest in the batter adds to the freshness .
                  For the topping I have brushed the warm cake with little bit of honey🍯 and sprinkled some orange zest .
INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE THE CAKE
Refined flour ( Maida) _ 1&3/4 cups
Baking powder_  1&1/2 tsp
Baking soda _ 3/4 tsp

Sugar (powdered)_ 3/4 _ 1 cup ( As I was using store bought orange crush  which already has sugar in it, I used   3/4 cup sugar )
Orange crush _ as needed to make the batter . ( I diluted it with some fresh orange juice)

Tiramisu

TIRAMISU This is a sofisticated coffee flavoured layered Italian dessert . Tiramisu means ' cheer me up ' . Indeed it lives up to its name . It's comfort in every bite . A bite into it  , will pepp you up .        The kick of the coffee from the biscuits dipped in it  and the luscious  creamy texture of the cheese are incorporated beautifully together in harmony.           Tiramisu can be served in individual bowls, glasses or set in a shallow dish . Traditional Tiramisu is made savoiardi  sponge biscuits , eggs, sugar, mascarpone cheese  flavoured with cocoa and  alcohol .             It's important that the biscuits don't become too soggy or they will crumble and fall apart .
