Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven, line the tins and make the sponge exactly as described in the 'Goes well with' recipe, simply adding the orange zest to the sponge mixture.

  • step 2

    For the drizzle, roughly crush the sugar cubes with orange juice until they absorb the juice and become slushy. For the filling, whip the crème fraîche until stiff. Spread over one of the sponges, then spread the other with orange curd and sandwich the two together. Spoon over the drizzle and serve.

No temperature for the oven?

Hi, thanks for your question. The recipe should be as follows: Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease and base-line 2 x 20cm non-stick round sandwich tins with baking parchment, then lightly grease the parchment. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

It is good but I would next add more orange zest to the cake and the crème fraîche did not whip at all so I recommended not using it or get other whipping cream.

This cake was DELICIOUS and so so easy to make. A fabulous cousin of the classic lemon drizzle. Unfortunately the creme fraiche we bought refused to whip, maybe because we accidentally bought a 50% less fat variety (I think full fat would be safest). So we mixed orange rind in with the creme fraiche…

It's just a basic Victoria sponge 200g with added orange zest. But well worth the effort, this cake is delicious. I have made it about 10 times now for my market stall and it sells out straight away with customers coming back asking for it. No need for the sugar cubes plain caster sugar drizzle is…

The most laziest excuse for a method I've ever seen - was gonna make this, but not gonna bother. Sort your act out.
