Рецепт Roasted, Spiced Oranges on Angel Food Cupcakes #12wksxmastreats
A few weeks ago I picked up a package of mandarin oranges at the grocery store because I hadn't had them in a while and thought they sounded good. A few days after that I started thinking about ways I could bake with the oranges to bring out their sweet flavor in the best possible way. I decided that roasting them was something I don't remember seeing before and it would showcase their juicyness. I paired these with angel food cake because I didn't want a cake that was to heavy. I was thinking about a dessert that was light and refreshing while still reminding me of autumn.
One of the things that I love about this recipe is that it's so simple but delicious. I used three oranges but you can use as many as you want. This recipe could easily be doubled or even tripled. I chose angel food cake because I love the angel food cupcakes I have made before, but if you want to pair them with a chocolate cake or yellow cake then I'm sure that would also be delicious. I also prefer a fairly plain cake with these oranges so that their flavor isn't overwhelmed by the flavor of the cake.
