This is essentially a summer cake enlivened with lemon juice and zest; just the kind one would want to have when it is blazing sun is beating down and striving to sneak in through the closed curtains of our home.
One big bag of home grown oranges waited by our front door. I opened up the bag and squealed in delight. We are blessed to have a wonderful friend who showers us with fresh homegrown fruits and vegetables.
Here we are at the tail end of summer and preparing ourselves to gradually make the transition to cooler weather and different lines of colors on the shelves. This is an Apple Pie, spiced a little differently than the classic warm flavors of fall.
No hearts, no pinks, no frills. Only an intensely indulgent, not so good looking, orange chocolate cake. The day is just an excuse to indulge ourselves.
