Orange Blossom Cake

Saturday was my mother’s birthday, and my first time baking with orange blossom water and vanilla bean!

Yellow cake with orange blossom water, marmalade as well as frosting between the layers, vanilla bean and more orange blossom water in the frosting (because I couldn’t taste it in the cake crumbs after I’d baked it), and orange zest on top…

I only used a 1/4 teaspoon of the orange blossom water in the frosting. It’s very strong stuff.

See the little vanilla specks? It almost looks like I added poppy seeds.
