This is a moist blood orange pound cake. If you don’t find blood oranges, you may also use orangic oranges. This is one of those recipes when I was watching the reel from Küchenstübchen (in German) while my hubby was watching me. He immediately requested I make this asap for him. I mean, yes, he does love anything citric, there is a reason I have an blog article with 18 recipes with citrics on here. Does he love lemons? Yes, for sure! How about limes? Of course! Orange? Yeah! Blood oranges even more so. For that reason I set to making this recipe. When I made it the first time in February, it was easy to find oranges and also blood oranges. However, somehow I had difficulty finding organic blood oranges. In the recipe below I give you both options. As blood oranges are smaller than regular oranges, you need to be careful with the measurements. 
Warning: This cake takes time. A lot of time. I usually like simple recipes, I am not somebody who spends hours and hours in the kitchen. Except for special occasions. Really special occasions. Like Easter and Christmas. So this cake is my Easter Special. I mean, it does require a lot of work. Be prepared.
The good thing is that you can prepare it in advance. In fact, it will taste better the second or third day. In has so many great parts.
