Orange Aniseed Tea Cake by Touch of Spice
This cake is super moist, thanks to the olive oil, orange juice, and greek yogurt. Goes very well with a cup of Earl Grey or any tea with bergamot flavors.
Like fennel, anise and star anise contain anethole, which gives them the licorice aroma and flavor. Aniseed is primarily used in the manufacturing of Tamiflu as it has antioxidant and antifungal properties. Anise is popular in Italian cakes and cookies, dating back to Roman times when they baked with anise to serve as post-meal digestives.
Aniseed also flavors post-meal drinks in the Mediterranean like Ouzo (Greece), Sambuca (Italy), Rekuh (Turkey), and Arak (Lebanon).
