Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C Bake
- Prepare a ring tin, or a small baking tin (approx 20-23cm) with a generous spray of cooking spray or melted butter.
- Place baking paper in the base of the tin, cut to size and set aside
- In a food processor place the washed and quartered orange.
- Blitz until it forms a pulp
- Add to this the eggs and sugar and mix for 20 seconds and scrape down the sides
- Add to this the melted butter and mix for a further 20-30 seconds or until fully blended
- Finally add the flour and blend for 20 seconds until all fully incorporated and no lumps remain
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking tin
- Bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer or knife comes out clean
- Remove from the oven and set aside for 10 minutes before carefully removing from the tin. You may need to carefully work a knife around the edge of the tin to help
- Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before icing.
- For the icing, in a medium bowl place the icing sugar, add to this the melted butter and vanilla and mix (I always mix my butter and vanilla together first as this helps it to infuse)
- Then add a tablespoon of water at a time until you get the desired consistency.
- It should not be too runny, the right consistency is when it just starts to fall from the spoon.
- Spread this over the cake and store in an airtight container until ready to serve
- Should keep for at least 3 days
- Enjoy!
