    Orange Cake with Orange Icing

    I made this cake last weekend and it came out so moist and soft. The orange flavour just lifted up the cake and the aroma of the cake was so good. I had a small piece left over and I tasted it the next day and it was so yummy. This cake get better the next day. The icing I made is a simple orange icing which was yummy, but you could make any icing you want.Since the cake has orange zest and orange juice it keeps well for 3-4 days. This is one of Rachael Allen’s recipe. I added some orange juice into it. You could even add some nuts in this. Please try this dish and tell me how it came.

      @Jazmin Alfaisal
      I have tried this cake (right off Rachel Allen on TLC) some 5-6 times, yes it tends to sink in the middle unlike normal cakes . Just ensure its cooked through. The flavor of the cake makes up for it though. Use a normal pan insted of
      a bigger pan.

      Hi Aarthi. I have tried this with my 27ltr convection. Prehit at 180 degree8-10 minutes and set the baked time to 20 minutes. The cake raised duly within 8-10 minutesBut after 10-12 minutes the cake turns brown. Fearing a burnt cake, I reduced the heat to 120 degree and bake for another 5 minutes.
      It sunk at the middle and the middle portion did not bake properly.
      What happens?
