Tested

"This is lovely and I have made it time and time again everyone asks for it for a special occasion. I disagree about the oil; I use rape seed oil which is only a �1 a bottle from a well known supermarket and which hasn't got such a heavy taste as olive oil. It fits in my square tin better if IO alter the proportions to an 8oz base. The recipe for the icing is awful though and I still I haven't found the right topping though I keep experimenting. In the original recipe, (I still have the magazine) there was the juice and zest of an whole orange and I can't understand why it's been left out. I have made orange zest brittle and crumbled it on the top for a really dramatic effect! anniefood"
