Gateau a L’Orange De Madame Mahjoub – Orange Cake, A recipe I am posting, untried by me, for ZWT I found this on Kitchen Chick’s food blog, under her North African section, and here is what she states about the recipe: From Nancy Harmon Jenkins’s book Essential Mediterranean comes Madame Mahjoub’s orange cake recipe This plain-looking cake is a delight in disguise and perfect with tea The original recipe calls for the Maltaise de Tunisie blood oranges and claims that they give the cake a beautiful red blush , This made a nice big cake and you can certainly taste the orange in this cake, but not the almond essence used 2 blood oranges and followed the recipe totally The cake baked well, rose nicely and cut beautifully with good texture It does need a little something on the side after day 1 so we had vanilla custard with it Made for ZWT 9
