Afternoon tea cake for a new friend to the district. Whole Orange Cake.

This cake is quick and easy and in this recipe the orange is not boiled.

I was given this recipe by a CWA friend and have used it for years. 

It is fun to make it it fancy tins or a ring tin and then fill the centre with

fruit.

Blitz the orange until well puréed and quite smooth.

Add all the other ingredients and process until well combined.

Spoon into prepared tin and bake middle shelf for 40-45 minutes.

Cool on a rack. Serve dusted with icing sugar and fresh berries.
