Notes

What is the best way to store this cake?

Store Orange drizzle cake in slices or as a whole, in an airtight container for 4– 5 days. Don’t put it in the fridge! It hardens the cake and dries it out.

Can Orange Loaf Cake be frozen?

To freeze, allow the cake to cool completely. Wrap it in cling film twice. Cover in foil. Add to a airtight container or cover in 1 more layer of foil or a ziplock bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.

How to thaw

Transfer the unwrapped cake to a wire rack and leave at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours. Once the cake has thawed, remove greaseproof paper and store it in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 4 days.
