Orange Cake with Fresh Berries
Because of its geographic location on the Mediterranean, Provence has been influenced by other Mediterranean countries. Oranges and olive oil are highly valued--here they coexist in a cake. Orange-flower water adds an intense perfume but can be omitted. It can be found in Middle Eastern food stores.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 cake slice, 2 tablespoons raspberries, and 2 tablespoons blueberries)
