TRADITIONAL BRITISH RECIPE: Simple yet delicious, firm but at the same time super light, this classic recipe will lead to the world of Madeira Cake... orange flavoured ( although you can use lemon ), is perfect with tea.
This is the most straightforward of cakes. I must admit to never having made a Madeira cake before, but having seen the plainness of the recipe, I decided it deserved the best ingredients. Everything 100 per cent organic.
This is the traditional and unthentic Madeira Cake Recipe. There is no adaptation to this recipe, mainly because, once again, I can’t change what's already perfect.
Make this cake in a loaf tin measuring 18cm/7in, lining it with baking paper or simply buttering it well.

04 - Mix everything until well smooth.
05 - Pour the mixture into the cake tin, smooth the surface with a spatula and scatter over the large gratings of orange zest.
06 - Bake for about 35 minutes or until the surface of the cake is puffed and feels springy to the touch, or a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Notes:
- The cake will keep for 24 hours well-wrapped in cling film before becoming dry.
