Orange Chiffon Cake
Baking is an obsession and I’m in love with it.  The basic cake is spruced up with freshly squeezed orange juice and  it’s zest.  The freshness of the ingredients make this for a  light and irresistible dessert.  California is famous for their oranges, we find them everywhere.  Backyards are filled with trees blooming with oranges.  I’m one of those fortunate few, with friends who have a green thumb and a big heart to share their produce.  What can I do to thank them, I bake for them:)
