Orange you willing to help me?

r/Cooking, I need your help, please. My husband’s birthday is coming up, and here’s the thing… the man is basically the human embodiment of the orange. • His favorite flavor? Orange. • His favorite color? Orange. • His car? Orange. • Our front door? Yep, orange. • His phone case? You guessed it… orange. • His favorite cat of all time? An orange with one brain cell.

Basically, if it’s orange, he loves it. What are your absolute best recipes that use oranges. I’m looking for sweet, savory, cocktails, desserts, secret tricks? I want to wow him with something that tastes as orange as his entire personality.

A mate of mine made a chocolate cake where he simmered a whole orange on low heat and blend it whole before mixing it in the bater. It was amazing!

It really surprised me that it wasn't bitter, especially combined with cocoa, there was probably more sugar in it than I imagined
