I love making my Mum’s Orange Butter Cake for our morning and afternoon tea, it’s such an easy cake to put together and has just the right hit of orange flavour to make it something special.  It’s only recently that I converted this recipe for my Thermomix and can’t believe it’s taken me so long to do it!

This Thermomix Orange Butter Cake recipe is a great way to use up any Oranges you may have in your fruit bowl and in a pinch you can use store bought orange juice for the icing (or just make a plain icing) if you prefer.

It’s a gorgeous light cake that goes perfectly with a cup of tea and you can wrap up any leftovers (if you have any!) and pop them into the freezer for another time.
