Blood orange thyme cake from Layered: Baking, Building, and Styling Spectacular Cakes (page 146) by Tessa Huff

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute oranges or grapefruits for blood oranges.

    A lot of fun to bake. The citrus flavor shines through but is not overwhelming. I deviated from the recipe by making a small batch of the Swiss buttercream instead of using half of the medium recipe. I wanted to cover the sides of the layers to allow it to store better. I really appreciate that her cakes are not overly sweet.

    Made this for my husband's birthday/Valentine's Day with blood oranges. Taste wise it was a delicious combination of flavors - just as she describes at the beginning of the recipe. It took a couple of hours on a Sunday morning and mine was a little lopsided with all the drizzle going to one side, but suspect thats my limited experience with 3 layer cakes!
