Sweet and fragrant orange plumcake, mainly for breakfast, in front of a nice steaming cup of milk or with a good coffee next to it could become the snack for adults. We already know that the plumcake is well-liked by children. Certainly, in the kitchen using this extraordinary fruit, there are many desserts to prepare and my orange plumcake with the addition of pistachio crumbles represents Sicilianity. You can enrich the plumcake with cream always orange and without milk, delicious. You can also serve this plumcake with tea in the mid-afternoon, or at the end of a meal accompanied by whipped cream or good custard ice cream. You will find many other fruit cakes, chocolate cakes, tarts, and spoon desserts on my blog.giallozafferano.it/vaipinacucina.

Orange Bread
This wonderful orange plumcake is very close to the Sicilian recipe of Orange Bread with one difference, in the plumcake we put only the squeezed orange and the grated peel. In orange bread, however, the whole fruit is blended with the peel.
