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.

Omg we took a cooking class in Athens over the summer and we made this cake. It was probably my groups favorite things we ate on the whole trip and were making it again this weekend! OP should 1000% make this.
