This recipe was handed down to me by my mother, who tried to keep things uncomplicated for me. :) It can be served warm, with ice cream, or cold if you are taking it to a pot luck or picnic.
This show-stopping creation is guaranteed to impress your guests this holiday season.
For a nostalgic holiday throwback, add this boozy fruitcake to your must-bake list. It’s a super make-ahead dessert.
Sunshine cake, really angel food cake made with whole eggs, is relatively obscure despite being around for more than a century. However, with its light moist texture, golden colour and citrus flavour, it makes an ideal Passover dessert using kosher-for-Passover ingredients, as well as one for Easter (see Variation, this page) and certainly deserves more celebrity.
Any tangy orange — navel, burgundy-fleshed Moro in the winter or a member of the mandarin family — is ideal in this recipe. Serve with whipped cream scented with orange liqueur and sweetened sliced or crushed strawberries.
