Bloody Orange Rosemarry Pound Cake Recipe on Food52

◅ ▻

Author Notes: Pound cake is easy to make, but it’s so fun to create your own flavor. The most interesting one I’ve ever tried is a 7-Up pound cake, very delicious. Yet. I am in love with bloody orange lately. I like just eat the bloody orange as fruit or juice it, but I can’t help my self thinking how I can enjoy it in a thorough way? A lot of people agree that baking is a science, so I decide to test my bloody orange out in a pound cake recipe. Let’s see how it turn out :3
