To celebrate the gorgeous citrus now in season here in Israel, I partnered with the queen Adeena Sussman to create a beautiful + easy going recipe for you to enjoy with your lovers. Apart from being seasonal and sporting an incredible texture due to the semolina flour and the sumac, this cake is olive oil based which makes it dairy free. 🙌🏻 After we baked the cake we prepared and poured a bright pink blood orange syrup on top to add another layer of zing and to help retain that perfect pound cake moisture!
