Orange and Almond Cake from the old EDC
« on: June 23, 2013, 04:56:33 pm »
I didn't cook it today - all I had to do was have my share of it.  Yum!  Moist and delicious.  This recipe works is all I can say from the taste test.

5/5

Sorry I only took one photo, and that was just with the phone.  The cake deserved much better styling.

Very morish!

Didn't they put this in the new book?

I just checked CP,  it is in the new one (p165)... but there are a few changes (notably double the eggs).

Hi, I have this is the oven and am getting it out soon.

I'm not sure if I need to put it on a cake rack to cool OR on a plate and pour the syrup over OR keep it in the tin and pour the syrup and then on a plate or cake rack.

I'm confused!

Id leave it in the tin and pour the syrup over it immediately it comes out of the oven babyw. It will soak the syrup up much better.

Well I have probably done the wrong thing. 

I put it immediately on a cooling rack and I have only just poured the syrup over and it is slowly soaking in.  I followed the New EDC recipe and it says 40-45mins but my oven took almost 1 hour for it to cook. 

The 6 children I have after school will be sure to let me know if it is heavy or doesn't taste right!
