A couple of days ago I received my first order of fruit from crowdfarming.com, a website Ken recommended when he was here last time. Spanish farmers send their produce directly to the customers, lovely, fresh, organic fruit. I ordered a 10kg box of oranges and a 5kg box of avocados and mango. Avos are not ripe enough to try yet, mango is sensational, oranges could be sweeter, but I put some of them to a good use today. We needed a cake, so having quickly looked through mojewypieki.com I brought Izzie from school and got cracking.

I used 200 g of soft butter, which I creamed with 170 g of caster sugar. Slowly added 3 beaten eggs. Then, with the mixer off, 180 g of plain flour, 30 g of potato starch, 1,5 tsp of baking powder slowly added and combined with the spatula. 100 ml of freshly squeezed orange juice, an orange peel from one orange and some of my candied orange peel too. All this gently combined went into the oven for 40 minutes in 170 degrees.

A nice drizzle of orange juice/icing sugar kind of combo went on top and then a good sprinkle of desiccated coconut. I’m thinking might even serve it with some whipped cream later. What a lovely cake!
