Dubbed the “Dessert Queen” in my family, I’m usually the one who makes desserts for birthdays and special events. This recipe I came across this marmalade cake recipe for my grandma’s birthday. The cake itself is moist and light, with the tang of marmalade gives a little pizzaz for the tastebuds. It’s a simple, yet delicious recipe and anything with the word “French” in it  sounds so classy.

And anything said with a French accent sounds 105% smarter, but really that’s beyond the point though. It’s a breeze to make, so it’s a lovely choice to make when guests are coming or for the holidays.

It can be served on it’s own with something warm to drink, or topped with creamy vanilla ice cream.

Or if you’re like me, both… ‘scuse me as I adjust my crown. 🙂
