Orange Cake - so easy and delicious...

My Mother has been making this Orange cake for years and it is sooo easy and sooo delicious. I wish I could tell you where the original recipe is from so if anyone can tell me I would love to know...






Orange Cake

1 whole orange, cut into 8 pieces
1 cup (225g) sugar
185g butter
3 eggs
1 ½ cup (225g) self raising flour

Blend whole orange and sugar for a short while. Add butter, eggs and self-raising flour and blend until smooth. Pour into bunt cake tin (i.e tin with a hole in the middle) or bar or round tin.

Bake in 180*C oven for 35-45 minutes.

You can ice it anyway you like. Mum iced her with plain icing flavoured with Orange Juice and Orange zest sprinkled over the top - Yummy!!

Orange Crush...


I am really enjoying seeing this colour everywhere. I don't have anything in Orange (besides nail polish) but I love it...

It's such a happy colour...perfect for Summer. I'm thinking about how I can work this colour into my Summer wardrobe this year...

The below have given me some great ideas...

What do you think? Will you be injecting some Orange into your wardrobe? Or are you already on board with Orange? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips on how to work it...
