"A lovely cake that is so simple to make. Served with yoghurt make for a wonderful dessert. You may like to omit the icing sugar and just use the rind topping, if so the rind of 2 oranges may be needed."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Process the orange in a food processor until pureed. Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
Step 2
Pour mixture into a baking paper lined 20cm cake pan and bake at 180°C for 45-50 minutes or until golden and a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the cake. (The cake will not rise much).
Step 3
Stand the cake for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
Step 4
For sticky oranges: Peel the rind from orange into long straight segments & finely julienne rind.
Step 5
Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan, stir over low heat until sugar dissolves, add orange rind and bring to the boil, simmering for 10 minutes until syrupy and orange rind is translucent.
Step 6
Drizzle warm syrup over cake and decorate with sticky orange rind, serve thin slices dolloped with pure cream.
