Aren’t blood oranges simply wonderful? After posting the marmalade recipe<\/a><\/span> last winter, I could not resist posting this recipe. Blood oranges and pomegranates must  be one of the most photogenic fruits out there! They represent the beauty of the winter season. I mean, look at these colors! Orange mixed with a reddish tone, plus the deep red-purple color of the pomegranate… A true feast for the eyes!<\/span><\/p>\n

This time I particularly enjoyed taking pictures. And the best part is, that it’s not all about beauty here.  This fruity moist cake has it all! The looks and<\/em> taste. I ended up taking some of it to work and people loved it!<\/span><\/p>\n

It truly is a 100% orange cake. It has the juice, pulp and peel. This was my first experience pur\u00e9eing an orange. I had to read the recipe twice to make sure that I understood it correctly. Yes, it said to pur\u00e9e the whole<\/em> orange. Skin and all. My fear that it would turn out too bitter was unjustified. Apparently simmering for almost one hour in the water helps removing the bitterness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next time I’ll reduce the amount of sugar even more, as it was a little too sweet for my taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, and let me tell you. You have to eat it with Greek yogurt! Not the zero fat one or similar. If you want the real taste you need to make sure that it has at least some amount of fat. Ignore the calories :) It’s so<\/em> worth it! <\/span><\/p>\n

And now, let’s get ready for baking! <\/span><\/p>\n
