Every once in a  while, this transplanted California girl needs a taste from home! Living across the road from rolling acres of orange groves, at the base of a mountain - my heart yearns for the sweet, lilting smell of orange blossoms. It was heaven - sheer heaven. Progress being what it was....they tore the groves down to build houses, so may as well move to Tennessee!  This is the perfect cake to make when you  miss the smells of home!
