GBBO Orange love heart cake

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.
