Tip

My step mother used to bake this.

She would skewer the top  drizzle orange juice over it  and sprinkle sugar on top to create a crusty top!

    This sounds delicious. Do you skewer the cake and sugar it before putting in the oven or when it comes out? Cannot wait to make this!

    I didn't have an orange so used a whole small lime and some mandarin segments. I also added some chopped walnuts. We absolutely loved the cake. Might try it with prunes next time. So easy. Thank you.  Love

    This is an awesome cake. Very easy to make and is a hit with the family and friends. Mine does take about 20 minutes longer to bake but that could be my oven. Thanks Kate!

  • I'm no masterchef but I know

    Submitted by Kate Owens on 1. January 2014 - 11:34.

    tmrc_emoticons.;) I'm no masterchef but I know that I use fairly large eggs most of the time. Oven temperatures can vary a great deal too. If it's happened before then trying a lower temp. may work and perhaps even a slightly shorter cooking time and take them out of the oven immediately to cool. These are the only suggestions I can think of.  Thanks for trying my recipe regards Kate.

    I tried these today, mine were so dry, can anyone tell me what I might have done wrong? This has happened a few times! Maybe eggs too small? Thanks tmrc_emoticons.;)

  • Considering I forgot to put

    Submitted by Pontifek on 1. August 2013 - 12:46.

    Considering I forgot to put the sugar in, this was really yummy! I squeezed orange juice and sprinkled the top with raw sugar for the last 5 mins of cooking. Beautiful straight out of the oven and perfect for my toddler.
