Day 22

A friend issued me with a challenge to make a Dairy Free Gluten Free cake that was light on with crap. So I set about to find a recipe that fit the bill. What I liked about this recipe was that I knew what the ingredients were, I'm not a big fan of having to hunt our ingredients I don't know.
All that said I was rather worried about making this cake as its not like any I have ever made before. To be honest because I wanted to get this cake done early in the day I boiled the oranges last night and let them cool. The cake took a lot longer that I had thought it was in the oven for 1hr 20min in the end I took it out because I was worried the top would burn. I was so unconvinced that it would be ok if I took it out of the tin I actually delivered it in the tin. It did seem to firm up a bit as it cooled and had I have had time at home I would have taken in out. But all said that the feed back was still good.

 Cake is very moist, citrus flavour is divine. I know u said u baked it for longer, but I reckon it could have done with a bit longer. So yummy! I'd make it again!

Thanks Fi home you and your lovely family enjoy the cake.
