The picture in Dorie Greenspan's book,
Baking Chez Moi, is absolutely beautiful and I was delighted to bake this lovely fresh orange cake.
It was an easy cake to prepare and I enjoyed cutting up the oranges for the topping. Dorie says you need 3 oranges--I used 2 1/2. She's right: you need three oranges. While my cake looked pretty fantastic, covering the whole top would have been even more so! I guess I'll just have to bake this one again!
