Magic Orange Cake

No work done today. My little Charlie is at home with a temperature which means the only thing he will eat is my homemade orange cake. It will also ease George's pain at having to go to school whilst his brother has a duvet day.
Mary Berry I am not, but honestly this baking tip from my mum works every time - weigh the eggs and match their weight with the same amount of sugar, butter and flour. If you want a bigger cake - just use more eggs and increase the formula. Who knew? In this recipe also add the grated zest from 2 oranges and some nice thick drippy icing, using the leftover juice. Guaranteed to put a smile back on poorly little faces.
