Cara Cara Orange Sweet Potato Cake

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

About the Recipe:  The sweet potato cake is flavored with aromatic spices and mild pink oranges.  The dense cake has a crisp crust, making it perfect to serve with juicy orange segments as a shortcake dessert or enjoy for breakfast with your favorite coffee or tea.

Cook’s note:  If Cara Cara Oranges or Red Walnuts are not available, use your favorite oranges and walnuts.  The olive oil cake will be dense, more like a light pound cake texture. It pairs well with juicy orange segments as a simple dessert.

About the Cara Cara Orange: It has a trifecta of attributes. It has the initial appearance of a true orange. Its peel is smooth, yet pebbled and when zested, it releases bright floral aromatics. It is easy to peel and when its flesh is revealed, the color of ruby grapefruit is reflected. It tastes sweeter than any given orange with flavors far more comparable to tangerines with robust and complex citrus aromatics. Its flesh is also seedless, an advantage among any fruit. When ripe, the Cara Cara orange’s flesh is tender, succulent and extremely juicy.  For more information see:
