From a now-defunct website - A Maltese Mouthful - comes this traditional Maltese orange cake. Almost every home will have a recipe for this cake! In this particular one, Marlene's mom had a unique way of treating the oranges - they are liquified in a blender or food processor! For a more orangey taste, use orange juice instead of milk.
