Hi Arwen-They are very cool indeed and wonderfully moist as a result of the f&v!

I made this cake on the weekend and it was really lovely and moistly dense. I love it because it is not ridiculously sweet and has a beautiful orange and cinnamon flavour. I made an orange icing glaze for mine which I think was not necessary as there was too much going on.

Yum, yum thanks for the recipe!
