  1. I just baked this and it smells delicious! If it tastes anything like it smells, then I'm in for a treat! I used butter instead of margarine, I cut the ginger down to 1/2 tsp. (I'm not a big ginger fan) and used about 1 Tbsp. of orange rind. I also used fresh squeezed OJ and also threw in a handful of saltanas and raisins. I had to cook it for an extra 15 minutes. Can't wait to try it! Thanks! :D
     
  2. In the US, baked at 350 for a full hour. After thirty minutes, draped with tin foil to retain nice golden-brown color. Increased ginger to 1 & 1/4 teaspoons. Using 2 cups all-purpose flour produced a very tender loaf. Next time, I will use one cup a-p flour, 1 cup bread flour. Excellent flavor, will bake again.
     
  3. It's was a great orange cake.
     
  4. We love this type of bread/cake and this is no exception. For taste bud reasons we prefer to use butter and also added more orange rind. Lovely little cutting cake so thank you for a good addition to my files.
     
  5. This turned out to be easy to make and also delicious to eat! A keeper.

  1. Also had to cook for at least 10 minutes more (fan-forced oven @ 160)
     
  2. I used half the amount of sugar and twice the amount of ginger, but ginger was still lost. I topped it with candied oranges and cinnamon honey caramel
     
  3. This is a delicious citrusy loaf with a hint of ginger, I used butter in place of the margarine. The loaf was lovely and buttery and tastes great. Thanks Jewelies.
