@wickdconfections: Orange Cream Cake 🍊✨ A lost Black Southern celebration cake with citrus layers, stovetop custard, and a glossy orange glaze. Before boxed cake mix and chocolate cake took over, citrus layer cakes were special-occasion desserts made for church gatherings, holidays, and feeding a whole room. This one deserves its comeback.
