Eagle eyed/pedantic/devoted Nigel Slater fans will know that I have jumped ahead to January to make this cake - 7th January to be precise. There are 2 good reasons for this: 1. In the book Nigel is in New York between 10th and 19th November and I wanted to make something to take to a friend's house later for after our meal. 2. I'm going to be on holiday (Vietnam for the curious) between 27th December and 18th January and don't want to get massively behind with this project so am going to try and slip January dishes in in November and December where possible, and maybe get a little ahead in the coming fortnight too.
Anyway, wow on this cake! I would go as far as to say that this is the best cake I've ever made! It was so moist and you could really pick out the orange flavours. My friend loved it too and said it was perfectly spongey and delicious. The icing was also lovely with just the right amount of sweetness.
