Sicilian Orange Cake

Natoora sent me a bag of Sicilian Oranges to use for my Valentines meal (the Bergamot and Orange Sorbet - recipe coming soon!), but I had one leftover so set about making an Orange Cake. The result was amazing - wonderful texture, and it could quite easily be served as pudding with a dollop of Creme Fraiche.
