Ingredients
 

Cake

  • 1 orange, whole
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 cups self-raising flour

Orange Icing

  • 1 orange, zest & juice
  • 2 cups icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 175 Celsius with rack positioned in the middle.
  • In a food processor, add the whole orange cut in half (flower stalk removed if still present), sugar, oil and eggs. Blend together until the orange is completely pulverised.
  • Then add in self raising flour. Blend again until thoroughly mixed.
  • Line a loaf tin with baking paper. Add the cake batter into the tin.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer shows the cake cooked right through.
  • Cool completely then top with orange icing.

Orange Icing

  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together the orange juice, orange zest and icing sugar. The icing is to hold onto the cake when applied. Add more icing sugar, a tablespoon at a time, if the icing is too runny.

Notes

  • Remove the flower stalk from the orange before adding it into the food processor. 
  • This recipe can be used to make cupcakes.
