Sticky Orange Cake

What 12 Others have said

• I... would suggest looking at the temperature, because... well, I'm in Australia, and we use Celcius/Centigrade, and, after converting it? It was 82 degrees Celsius! Nowhere near high enough to bake! I did try, though, and it came out still liquid.

  Mine is currently back in the oven at 180C (160C for fan forced) in the hopes it will work better.

• I made this cake and it was scrummy,extremly moist and was a big hit, but l think next time instead of using the 75g of sugar for the topping l will use honey and the fresh orange juice which might make it a bit more healthy and a bit more sticky.

• So easy to make, and so tasty, it was a big success with family....even with the people who are not to much into dessert.

• I wasn't sure if I had to melt the butter or not, so I used butter at room temperature. I was also surprised with this recipe that you did not have to beat the butter and sugar first and then add the eggs one at the time. The cake came out really well though and it was/is delicious!

• I make the same cake but with lemon juice and lemon grind instead - my husband's favourite. My mother use to make it when I was young. I never tried it with orange. I am sure it will be equally gorgeous. Thanks for the idea.

• Lovely recipe! I only had soft light brown sugar and also used plain flour with baking powder and a little bicarb instead of SR flour. It was great. I did use orange juice and normal sugar for the juice to pour over and put plenty of holes in. It was very soft and moist but held together very well when sliced.

• gorgeous cake! I made it with vegan butter and soy milk to make it dairy free and it turned out beautiful! It is a mistake in the recipe to add the lemon. However, I am going to try this recipe with lemons to see what it's like!
