Orange cake with raisins is a refined dessert with a bright citrus aroma and a soft, moist texture.

Orange puree gives the dough a rich flavor and a slight tanginess, while raisins add sweet, caramel notes. This cake is perfect for cozy tea times, festive gatherings, or simply enjoying homemade baking. The powdered sugar on top completes the look, giving it a delicate, elegant appearance. It is easy to prepare and always delights with its rich taste and aroma.
