Wow! The cake rose beautifully, is lovely and moist, taste so yummy.
Thanks for the recipe it was easy and quick. I added in some dried cranberries and a couple of extra bits to help liven it up a bit

I needed to use the buttermilk from making butter in the thermomix and this cake was perfect.
I added orange peel with raw sugar and made it into caster sugar. I also added 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom.
I used a 20 cm springform pan and it took 50 minutes on fan bake to cook.
I didn’t make the icing (it does sound like a generous amount of icing) I used an orange icing glaze instead.
I will make it again it was easy and had a silky smooth texture.
*Also I used 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of bicarbonate soda. The ingredient list isn’t clear so I referred to the original Nigella Lawson recipe.
Thank you for converting the recipe to thermomix.
My husband wanted a butter cake for his birthday party so I used this recipe and it was a hit. Nice and moist and good texture and taste. It took a bit longer than 40 minutes to bake through. I didn't make the butter icing as we had other icing options. Thank you for the recipe.
Not sure where I went wrong, but didn't like the icing at all
I followed the recipe exactly as it is listed, however the icing came out gritty, and as for making the 700g amount! I was left with a huge amount of icing left over as I only iced the top of the cake --- obviously my error in not realising it was meant to iced all the way around.
The cake itself was ok but I have found nicer recipes here in the community so was disappointed
This is now my "go to" birthday cake recipe! I made this for my husbands birthday and it was a huge success!
I made the cake. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old and have used a different cake recipe every year for their birthdays. I'm going to stick with this one...LOVED IT!! Thanks so much.
This cake rocks!! It is delicious, moist and easy to decorate. I've tried a few others looking for a good one... this is it! Thanks for sharing!
Great birthday cake

I made this cake (not the icing) for my daughter's birthday. I decided to give spelt flour a try instead of normal flour. The cake was lovely and moist and I received many wonderful comments. Thanks for sharing.
