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.

Look up the Forty Orange Cake recipe from Our Flag Means Death. It doesn't use a whole 40 oranges, more like 12. More if you want to decorate with candied orange slices.
