Legendary Thalhimers 6-Layer Orange Cake

The legendary Thalhimers Six-Layer Orange Cake, another cherished confection from the iconic Richmond, Virginia department store, is as refreshing as it is luxurious. This cake features six delicate layers of airy, golden-yellow cake, infused with a hint of fresh orange zest, which gives it a bright and fragrant citrus essence. Between each layer is a smooth, buttercream frosting, rich yet light, with a luscious creaminess that complements the zesty cake. The entire cake is enveloped in a velvety orange buttercream, creating a beautifully balanced flavor that's both rich and refreshing. This cake was a staple in the Thalhimers Richmond Room, where its vibrant citrus flavor and soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture left an indelible impression on those who tasted it. The Thalhimers Six-Layer Orange Cake remains a celebrated memory, fondly remembered for its unique flavor and connection to family celebrations and elegant department store dining.
