Orange Easter Cake

While not strictly speaking an Easter cake, clean citrus flavours and pastel colours always seem like Easter to me. This is the sort of old fashioned, Golden-Wattle-Cookbook kind of cake that my grandmother probably cooked. I've submitted it to Julia at 'A Slice of Cherry Pie'. She's hosting an Easter Cake Bake - which is an awesome idea, especially for those of us that don't particularly enjoy Easter Eggs. (oops, did I say that out loud? I hope nobody linches me...)
I guess I'm sort of cheating, because Ryan cooked the cake, and our great friend N chose it, but never mind...

Orange Cake

We ate it in the park with friends, because it's really the last warm weekend before the Canberra winter sets in. I'm not going to post the recipe, because it's published and we didn't modify it at all. But it's in the Women's Weekly favourites book called 'Food We Love'. We loved it too.
