A hot orange syrup spooned over the newly baked cake gives this recipe extra flavour and makes it deliciously moist. Serve it plain for tea, but for a party dessert cover the cake with whipped cream and decorate with segments of fresh orange.
Ingredients
Method
Sift the flour and salt on to a square of greaseproof paper and set aside. Cream the butter, sugar and finely grated orange rind until soft and light. Lightly mix the eggs and beat into the mixture a little at a time, adding a little of the flour along with the last few additions. Using a metal spoon, fold in the remaining flour and a little milk to make a soft dropping consistency.
