mine turned out ok with two tangelos, I did what someone suggested above and peeled the zest off, removed the pith and used the flesh and zest. It probably could have done with a bit more of a tangelo punch. The Sultana's all seemed to sink to the bottom too. Lovely moist cake though, and does taste delicious.

A great cake but do agree maybe the zest and flesh would be better, will make another to see. Great cake with plenty of cutting.

A great cake with plenty of cutting, but do agree maybe the zest and orange flesh would be enough. Will definitely make again though.

I love oranges so have made the cake with 2 oranges, not just one, but as suggested by someone earlier, peeled off the zest and popped that in the food processor, then cut off the bitter white pith from the outside, and added the flesh of the oranges only after that. Admittedly with two oranges it required a bit longer baking, but is a fragrant and moist cake.

Interestingly this recipe is identical to one of my mum's favourite recipes out of 'Aunt Daisy' - Canadian Orange Cake. Only difference is that Aunt Daisy adds 1/2 tsp salt. (And doesn't do it in a food processor. :o) )

Everytime I make this cake it ends up crumbling all over. Tastes great and is very moist, yet still crumbles. What am I doing wrong?
