Method
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
- Heat a saucepan full of water until boiling point. Add the orange (do not cut) and place the lid on the saucepan. Cook for one hour, then drain.
- Place the orange in a food processor, and process the orange until pureed.
- Fold in all the other ingredients.
- Pour mixture into a well grease round cake tin and bake for 40 minutes.
- While the cake is in the oven, make the lemon drizzle by stirring together the butter, lemon zest and icing sugar in a bowl until combined. Add the lemon juice and continue stirring until you have a smooth, liquid glaze that can be easily drizzled. Add more lemon juice if needed.
