Do you know those cakes that have that classic wintery vibe? This is orange and lemon cake is one of those. It goes perfectly with a nice warm drink and a Netflix binge. For the cozy Sundays, the cold days that make us want to stay in the comfort of our home.
It leaves a wonderful scent around the house so no one can resist it and is very soft. I baked it in a special bundt pan – a Christmas gift – and I loved how it turned out.
