  1. I made this as a two layer cake, frosted it with dark chocolate ganache and candied tangerine peel. It got RAVE reviews. The cake is nice and light, but stands up to the chocolate. Not good keeper.
     
  2. These taste SO fresh. Love the idea and will prepare for our annual Halloween party. Thank you for this great recipe.
