WORLD’S BEST ORANGE CAKE

Belinda Jeffery’s Orange Cake

This is a flawless cake and if you follow the instructions to the letter, you too will understand why I believe it is perfect. I’m not even a lover of the flavour of orange but it is very easy to just keep taking slices from this cake. Belinda includes an option for dried cranberries. I have never bothered. If you want to you’ll need 80g and hold back one tbls

“The waltz was the only way a young couple could touch one another, and even through gloves I could feel the heat of your grandfather's touch,'she'd tell Luc, with a wicked glimmer in her eye.”

“Then they had a day together in Melbourne and Jenny stayed in her first hotel, with Luc sparing no expense and treating her to the Windsor for the night. Here, Jenny experienced a luxury that had her wide-eyed, where men in their fine uniform of burgundy jackets, trimmed with gold, fussed around them and suggested an afternoon tea like never before. Luc couldn’t help but grin to see his daughter engulfed in a leather chair, near the huge arched picture windows that fronted Spring Street, choosing cucumber sandwiches and beautiful little cakes and pastries from a silver tiered cake stand.”
― Fiona McIntosh, The French Promise
