What’s On My Mind…
I actually started by trying to bake the Orange Chiffon Cake you see below. The recipe was from thedomesticgoddesswannabe.com and I loved it so much that I thought, “why not try the same recipe but with lemon instead?“
The result was simply amazing. Everyone preferred the lemon version as compared to the orange. It just gave a great balance between sweet and sour which made it such a crowd pleaser!
