This is the orange sponge cake I made for grandads birthday. It's a good one to make for anyone who is gluten intolerant, and I used it as my Nanna is and I wanted her to eat it too. I followed the recipe from The Great British Bake Off - How to bake (see photo).           I beat it with a hand whisk until it was mousse like, it's a bit like making a meringue.    To make the cake extra special for Grandad, I used a heart shaped cake tin from Ikea. When you pour the syrup over the cake, it looks like it won't soak in, which is a bit worrying.....but it did. I decorated it with little chocolate buttons and served it with creme fraiche.    Grandad loved his birthday cake.  Other people have blogged about this recipe: http://recipes.thegreatbritishbakestore.co.uk/2013/05/how-to-make-orange-sponge-cake-by-lisa.html
