With the beginning of spring marks all things citrus! Lemon tarts, key lime pies, and orange cakes! This orange loaf is so light and has the perfect amount of orange flavor. The cake itself is actually nothing like a typical pound loaf because its not dense at all, it's spongy and airy making for the perfect spring dessert to have with tea or coffee. This cake is sure to be a ray of sunshine in your day as it cheers you up with just the taste of it. I like to top it off with powdered sugar but you could top it off with icing or fresh orange slices. Enjoy!
