 This easy Sicilian Orange Cake recipe is perfect for summery afternoon teas in your garden.

It has a wonderfully moist texture, and it could quite easily be served warm as a pudding with a dollop of Creme Fraiche or clotted cream.

TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THE SICILIAN ORANGE CAKE


  1. If you can't get hold of Sicilian oranges, normal oranges would be fine to use.
  2. Make a glaze for the cake, by mixing some caster sugar with the juice of an orange. Once the cake is cooked, prick holes in the top and drizzle the glaze on.
  3. This cake freezes really well, so why not make 2 and freeze one for another day.
  4. Serve with slices of fresh orange, and even a dollop of clotted cream, for an extra special treat.
  5. The cake is made in 20cm springform tin, but you could make individual cupcakes instead.
