Apple and Walnut Cointreau Cake
How about a fruit cake full of enticing aromas? Its main orange flavor is brought out not only by the orange zest but also by the Cointreau liqueur, which you’ll use to soak the dried mixed fruits. The tinges of cinnamon vanilla will only make things better for the walnut and apple combo.
