From an earlier thread with the same request.
"Orange Lightening Cake - Annabel Langbein 1 orange (unpeeled) 1 tsp Baking soda 125gms softened butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 cups flour 1 cup sultanas or raisins 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 160 deg C. Grease a 20cm diameter cake tin and line the base with baking paper. Cut the orange into quarters, remove the seeds and whizz in a food processor until finely chopped. Dissolve B soda in 1/2 cup water and add to the food processor with butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and flour. Whizz to combine. Add sultanas or raisins, and walnuts if using, and stir with a spoon or pulse several times to just combine (don't whizz them or they will break up) Pour into prepared cake tin and bake until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. (about 1 hour) Orange lightening cake will keep in an airtight container for up to a week or can be frozen.

Sounds like the recipe that did the rounds on here a few years ago.'everyone' raved about it.I tried it once and never again. yuck. but I wonder if annabelle reads he MB, lol

to get around this, I think I'd just zest the orange then remove all the white stuff and just use the zest and the flesh.Would stop the bitterness.

I reckon if you chop off the two ends of the orange so that a good proportion of the peel is gone without sacrificing too much zest it'll be better.Some varieties just have so much pith compared to actual flesh.

You could use a peeler and peel the rind off and then take off the pith and dump it l just made this cake using blood oranges from my tree as they have less pith than the other tree and smells so nice When l make this cake with the other oranges l will peel them etc as they have a very pithy bitter taste but flesh is sweet and the zest is very orangey so l won't lose flavour

Try mandarines - no bitter taste using these.

It's in the oven now :-)I've substituted the walnuts for chocolate chunks. And I suspect that the 'oranges' that I picked up from the 'help yourself' box at work turned out to be tangelos.

Hello recipes :) I'm normally found on pets and animals.
Anyway - my centsworth. I made it using two oranges because I grated the pith off and discarded the white stuff (as suggested by poster above). I did add a tablespoon of golden syrup simply because I find that keeps cakes moister. I added sultanas 'cos my husband worships them.
It was/is gorgeous - so moist !

My mandarine was quite a large one wron, so I only used the one.Worked out fine.It wasn't the "Annabelle" recipe though - I always bake the Magical Orange Cake recipe (from here) and it's always a success.
