Orange sponge cake is a sunny dessert filled with the aroma of citrus and the delicate texture of airy dough. The origins of such baking trace back to Russian culinary traditions, where the combination of simple yet rich ingredients creates a harmonious flavor. The sweetness of the egg batter and the richness of milk and butter are complemented by the refreshing tartness of orange. Raisins add an extra textural twist, making the sponge particularly interesting. This dessert is perfect for morning tea or as a light treat for festive tables. Orange sponge cake delights not only with its taste but also with its bright, warm hue that creates coziness. It pairs well with honey, jam, or sour cream frosting, and its lightness makes it a favorite choice for the whole family.
