Orange & Almond Cake @ Alexis The Gardens

As I am a big fan of Orange/Lemon cakes, I get really excited when I see it on the display of a cake shop or restaurant. Having seen one the past week, I must say the cake looked extremely moist and delicious. However, the cake itself turned out to be rather disappointing, contrary to how good it looked on the display. This, of course is my own opinion and I have not really made orange cakes more than once, but I dare say I have tasted better ones. The cake itself was rather moist but the taste was a little bitter and overwhelming, in a very unpleasant way. However, the combination with Vanilla ice cream gave it a balance in taste and perhaps it was just a not so "Orangey" day. I shall make an attempt on Orange Cakes in the near future.

  1. I don't like lemony or orange cake. I personally feel fruit and cake shouldn't be mixed :D

  2. I guess it's a personal preference but you are right, some fruits just don't go well with/in cakes. :)
