Grain-Free Blood Orange Cake

grain-free blood orange cake | kumquatblog.com @kumquatblog

“it’s 70 degrees outside.”

that’s what my texan daddy said on the phone yesterday as i stared out at a snow-packed lawn. after sliding across a driveway as slick as an ice rink. with handfuls of loaded grocery paper bags that for some reason the handles on one side of each bag tore off. and almost busted my rump, very ungracefully, at least twice.

my consolations were:

  1. at least i made it in from the car without falling while carrying children.

2. in 6 weeks, we’ll be in texas in that warm weather through the year. which means a very minimal likelihood of snow for me next winter.

3. there’s a slice of this grain-free blood orange cake and a cup of coffee waiting for me inside!!

and isn’t it pretty?

and soo easy.

this lovely #grainfree blood orange cake is a sure win w ur guests & ur tastebuds! Click To Tweet
