Ingredients
For Cake
- 1 Orange
- 180 grams Butter Melted
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup Sugar, Castor
- 1 1/2 cups Self Raising Flour
For Lemon Drizzle
- 2 tbsp Butter melted
- 1 tsp Lemon Zest
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 cup Icing Sugar (Sifted)
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.

- Pour mixture into a well grease round cake tin and bake for 40 minutes.
