Portuguese Orange Cake "Bolo de Laranja"

An airy, zesty cake, soaked in syrup and bursting with orange flavour. It’s a traditional Portuguese dessert, nearly always found on the table at a Portuguese gathering. Every Portuguese grandmother has a recipe for bolo de laranja, and this one is based on our own Vovó's (grandmother's) recipe.

• Hi, I'm Elicia!
  

  I’m an assistant principal at a Sydney CBD school, and in my spare time I cook traditional Portuguese desserts. I met my husband living in Portugal and bonded with his family over food as his Grandmother taught me how to make amazing Portuguese desserts. I make them now as a way of staying connected with her and the rest of our family overseas, and I add in my own style and flavours to make them truly unique.
