A recipe for orange Drizzle cake. With its moist texture, and delicious tanginess, Orange Drizzle Cake is the perfect balance of sweet and citrus.
This is a lovely variation of a lemon drizzle cake. This was a result of starting to make a lemon one but finding that I had no lemons but plenty of oranges! I thought it was worth a try and I was delighted with the results. It has a lovely flavour and was moist and delicious. Best of all, this is really easy to make and is worth a go.
