I tend to be impulsive by nature and I started this blog literally overnight.
I never dreamt that I would project my fetishness for cooking without knives as a forerunner. ๐( I usually pretend I am engaged otherwise at the time someoneโs looking at me to chop something).
This post also marks 10,000 views from 29 countries and I am totally humbled with the overwhelming response. I love answering your queries and I sincerely thank you for sending me pictures of all that you have tried making.
This cake is a melt in your mouth cake, it is oh so good ! The blend of flavours from marmelade to orange rind to orange juice and the orange liqueur just blossoms in your mouth.

Once the cake cools, unmould the cake and frost the cake and dot it with orange segments and toffee bits / chocolate chips.
Add a pinch of love โค๏ธ :
After taking the cake out of the oven, pork holes with a tooth pick and soak with orange syrup to enhance the flavour of the cake. Continue with frosting the cake, once it cools.
Orange Syrup
In a saucepan add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, juice of 2 oranges and melt over a low flame. Add 1/2 tsp of Grand Marnier once you take it off the flame.
