Pan d’Espanya (pan esponjado) is the iconic orange chiffon cake that has been made for generations from the Jews of Spain.

This feather light cake originally made from the juicy Seville oranges is moist and tangy from the juice and zest and fragrant with a hint of delicate orange blossom water.

Pan d’Espanya is delightful served as a tea time treat or offered as an irresistible finale served with berries and lightly whipped cream. I urge you to try it - keeps so well too.

Shabbat shalom to all!!
