Hey does Food Safari knows your using their video, just asking.

[cheryl7davis]

Whoops...forgot to say...I switched the sugar for splenda & lined the pan with twice the amount of grease proof & even attached a round disc to the top with paper clips....also placed a pan of water on the shelf underneath the cake shelf....& it WORKED.(I have a fan assisted oven so this helped keep the cake moist.) Really looking forward to trying it with our family in couple of days (if I can wait that long!)

I have worked out if you are on Atkins then one twelfth of cake is equal to 5-6 carbs

[cheryl7davis]

Today is the day! I just made the cake and the aromor Mmm it smells yummy :) Will post again when it has cooled down and I have tasted it....Mmmm the smell is making me salivate!!!

[cheryl7davis]

I am on the Atkins diet...but... I am going to try this using a sweetener in place of the sugar, even though oranges are not really permitted!

But I think that because the oranges have been boiled for two hours the sugar content will be some what reduced or minimal! (I hope! :D)

Does anyone know if the sugar content reduces when the fruit is boiled for so long?

[playerofdeath]

just had a try with it, the cake was very fine instead of coarse and it wasnt moist.. Looks like i screwed up somewhere..

[bakerboy1234]

Mmmh nice cake, made it myself. If somebody finds it to bitter, serve a slice with some whipped cream, works wonders against bitterness!

[hotboyclarence]

any measurements for the ingredients? for how long in the owen?

[mnam26]

is the orange peel healthy to eat? what about the seeds in the oranges? are they left in there also?

[hotboyclarence]

@mnam26 of course. where do you think the orange marmalade come from? in fact, the peel and the seeds are some of the healthiest things you can eat. but since they are bitter, you need prepare them--in a marmalade or cake

[potocatepetl]

@mnam26 Use just organic oranges if you intend to eat the peel. The regular ones are pumped with chemicals and covered with wax so they look healty for a longer time.

One of the best recipes ever. My arabian friend always wants an extra piece. Thanks a lot!

[Bennyboy087]

I'm using navel oranges and they're splitting about 1 hour into the boil. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. I am taking them cold from the fridge and into the boiling water. Would that be the contributing factor or would it be something else. Finally does it really matter that they split (splits are very wide)? Am I losing any considerable amount of juice from the orange due to this?

[777asturias]

@kimaussie1 mira si te pasa eso te recomiendo que compres naranjas de exportación de esas que se llaman da california y que con un rayador fino saques la rayadura de la piel luego exprimes el jugo y se lo agregas y listo no mas problema si es lo mas recomendable

[AlmazB]

The actual recipe IS on the food safari website

[rmyers04]

What do you put in it

[MrBLUECOW25]

u dont need to boil the oranges, stupid, u can make puree in a processor

[leonalchemist]

wat about the oranges seeds??? X_o wtheck?

[Drillin4Oil]

@leonalchemist the seeds are actually softened in the boiling process and are pulverized along with the rest of the orange.

[Drillin4Oil]

Just made this. It was so easy! I found the 375 degree oven too hot though. I much prefer 350, but you still have to watch it as you don't want it too brown. Powdered sugar works better to top the cake as opposed to the caster sugar. I'm thinking of adding sliced almonds to the batter the next time.

[TheSifeta]

@Drillin4Oil

[Friederike42]

Great! But I think I will use orange marmelade instead of the cooked oranges and sugar.

Looks amazing!!!

Recipies like this remind me why I always liked the FOOD SAFARI cooking show from Australia.

Its a brilliantly simple but great cake.

I recommend everybody try it.
