YAY for steam ovens. This amazing cake is so moist and delicious it will become a firm citrus favourite.

This cake is the perfect cake to use as a help yourself dessert for a huge crowd. I have made this cake on more than a few occasions now. Slice cake up on a platter, next to a massive bowl of berries with the ice cream, whipped cream also mounded up in large bowls, there is a lushness to it all that is inviting.

SO easy...and best idea yet, pierce cooked cake(s) several times over and over with a skewer and pour that hot citrus dessert syrup over while they are still in the tins. YUM. Sticky goodness. (OH and don’t forget the cream/ice cream!)
