Orange Madeira Cake

Orange Madeira Cake

Course: Recipes, Dessert, Treat

Madeira Cake is one of those classics that’s perhaps one of the simplest out there, it’s even one of the challenges usually on Masterchef!! But when I saw this one in Donna Hay’s latest magazine I thought it would be such a perfect one to try this weekend.

One thing I tried with this cake was gluten free self-raising flour, the first time ever. I have to say that the cake – perhaps as a result, although I haven’t tested with standard wheat flour – is quite dense. So if there are any unwanted guests this weekend I have a weapon with which to propel them away fairly quickly – not just by offering it to them with their coffee, but I think it would make a good implement to lob at them. Having said that it’s quite heavy, it’s tasty and the orange is absolutely delicious. I topped it with orange crackers which are such a favourite of mine, and they looked super pretty.

INGREDIENTS

  • 180ml extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tbsp grated orange peel

  • 60ml orange juice

  • 280g greek yoghurt – I used a mixture of Brown’s and Bio

  • 330g jaggery

  • 300g self raising flour (this is where I used the gluten free)

  • orange crackers

  • ICING
  • 160g icing sugar

  • 1 tbsp orange juice

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 160. Whisk the oil, eggs, rind, juice, yoghurt and jaggery together. Sift over the flour and stir in until smooth.

    Pour into a loaf tin lined with greaseproof paper. Cook for an hour or until a skewer comes out clean.

    Set aside for 10 minutes in the tin and then remove to a wire cooling rack.
  • To make the icing, combine the sugar (sifted) and the orange juice and mix to combine, Spoon over the cake whilst it’s still warm and then top with the orange crackers.
