This gorgeous ombré citrus cake might look elaborate, but it couldn’t be easier to make. Thinly sliced winter citrus is layered in a baking dish and bathed in orange syrup, then an insanely moist, flavorful, and easy cake batter (hint: it involves instant pudding mix) is poured over top . The result is a beautiful, showstopping cake that tastes like an orange creamsicle.
