For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of orange liqueur to the batter. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can substitute with high-quality orange juice and orange zest, but fresh is always best! Dusting the cooled cake with powdered sugar adds a lovely finishing touch. Serve with a dollop of mascarpone cheese or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat.
