Recently, there have been many posts on Ogura Cake by the baking bloggers. I’m not sure about the meaning of Ogura in Japanese but in Chinese it’s known as xiang Si dan Gao (相思蛋糕), literally means Pining4U or Lovesick Cake. This cake is actually a plain cake but the texture is like a chiffon cake, cottony, light and soft but baked in a normal cake pan. I was very much inspired by many talented bakers who have created Ogura Cakes of different flavours. The most recent ones were posted by Jane and Helena. Jane made the cake with coffee flavour and Helena made hers with rose water and cranberry. I just can’t wait to jump on the bandwagon and made this Orange Ogura Cake. It is no surprise that this cake is a big hit, I just fell in love with it at the first bite. Would you like to join in on this bandwagon too?
