Orange & Ginger Pomegranate Cake

  8. Then, spread the pomegranate arils on top of the batter and lightly press them into the cake. 
  9. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes at350°F. Then reduce to 325°F and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  10. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan before cutting.
  11. Best enjoyed fresh, but you may store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  4. Decorate the cake with chocolate chips and orange zest.
