Orange Cake

My dear readers! 

I'm back! First of all, I would like to explain my long absence on the blog. The reason for it is the fact that my daughter got married! Whilst this event evoked so many joyful and wonderful emotions in me and our whole family, it also involved a whole lot of preparation and organization, as all weddings do! The wedding was in France, and just to sum up: it was beautiful and very romantic!

But now all the wedding hassles are behind us, I can finally focus on my blog again!

Orange cake

I find that cakes and pastries with fresh oranges have a nice citric, fresh and juicy taste. This cake is well suited for birthday or dinner parties since it looks quite festive! But it doesn't take much effort and skills to prepare, as all the recipes that I share on this blog.

Raspberry Smoothie

Yesterday I discovered this great smoothie recipe! It's fresh, light and most importantly healthy! I used orange juice as a base, but it can be easily replaced with milk or coconut cream. Pineapple juice works great as well; it adds a nice tropical taste to the smoothie.
