1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges. The fresher the oranges, the better the flavor of your cake will be.
  • Zest the oranges before you juice them. This will help to release the orange's flavorful oils.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature. The cake will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

The Orange Kiss Me Cake is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, flavorful, and has a light and fluffy texture. The orange glaze adds a delicious citrus flavor to the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
