Quick Orange Cake
This is a hugely popular recipe that was given to me when my oldest son was a newborn and it became my go to cake for mothers group or when guests came over for dinner and I wanted something super easy for dessert. I have tweaked it over the years slightly. I find that using a whole orange (yes skin and all) and flesh from another gives the perfect balance of flavour - Peta
