Thinking, making, and tasting, I love all this process. Esp. when the thing that I imagined is coming out delicious.
The idea started from the peach financier that I bought from a Japanese sweet shop, the look is so cute, the taste is good and I want to make something like this, haha, but I want it to have more punch.
After using my imagination, my conclusion is orange.
I use candied orange as it comes with a peel that gives a really fresh orange flavor to the cake. Anyway, I have to tell you that I rarely make candied oranges by myself, as it takes time and homemade ones is one good for keeping. But the commercial one can be too sweet and becomes hard so I mix it with hot water before using it.
For this recipe, I choose to use shortening, and you can switch the cake flour to gluten-free flour to make this cake dairy and gluten-free ^^.
The cake comes out really good, hehe, the taste of the orange is so fresh and vibrant, I suggest serving it with a cup of hot tea.
