Sicilian Orange Cake
Description
The baking is simple and quick. Orange muffins are no longer surprising anyone, but with Sicilian ones you can certainly give it a try :) The main emphasis is, of course, on the glaze color. It turns out bright, juicy, and wonderfully complements the soft and tasty muffin. If you use equipment for mixing the batter and squeezing the juice, the process can rightfully be called extremely easy. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
