I love all oranges, but get really excited when blood oranges start to appear in the stores. Besides eating them "straight up", I am always looking for other ways to use them before their season is over.

This is a delicious cake that really showcases their beauty and flavour since it makes use of both, the zest and the flesh of the orange. Simple to make and delicious even a couple of days after (if it lasts that long!).

Look for blood oranges that have dark red skin, that means they will be darker in colour on the inside and have more intense flavour.
