This is one of my go to cake recipes that I have used for years in a food processor and adapted to the tmx. It is so quick and easy and more importantly, super moist and tasty!!!

This can be frozen and thawed for an easy afternoon tea or for school lunchboxes.

    Would love to make this cake but am unsure about the first orange. Do you use a whole orange, skin, pith and all? Thanks, Sheila

    Just reread the instructions and can see the answer is Yes, skin and all ��

    Just tried this recipe using white wings gluten free sr flour and it’s a success. I subbed in 1.5 cups instead of 1 3/4

    Love this cake – so easy and delicious. I make up a couple when i have lots of oranges and they freeze (and defrost) really well.

    in the oven now, smelling delicious. I too subbed the flour for gf flour as per comment above.
    I am doing a big lunchbox bake up for back to school, helped by my four daughters (aged 9,6,4&2) and the 6yr old was reading the instructions to me and said “ring tins” instead of springform tins…..so i now have 2 ring tins of mixture cooking…..hope they work πŸ™‚

    For anyone who doesn’t have a thermomix and is wondering if a blender will work – I used a ninja blender and it came out beautifully! I also substited the sugar for honey for my diabetic friend, and cooked for 1 hour at 170 because honey tends to burn quicker than sugar. Great recipe, thanks for sharing πŸ™‚
