The punch in orange flavor in the cake is due to orange zest-infused milk. When you heat milk and orange zest together, the oils from the zest release and creates the most wonderful orange-flavored cake for Christmas.

This cake is a dressed-up red velvet. It’s a foolproof recipe, with a touch of cocoa and a generous amount of buttermilk; the batter remains moist with a tight crumb and the distinctive “red” velvet flavor. The frosting is white chocolate cream cheese, my new go-to when it comes to a tangy frosting.

This sticky date and orange pudding is gluten free, vegan and refined sugar free. Dates and buckwheat flour were used as the base, and chia seeds as a binding agent, which delivered the most delicious sticky consistency. The orange flavor really shines through, and the orange zest helps heighten it to another level.
