Servings: persons

8 ounces self raising flour
8 ounces margarine or 8 ounces butter
6 ounces sugar
2 ounces desiccated coconut (unsweetened)
3 medium eggs
3 oranges, zest of (or limes)
1 teaspoon baking powder
approx. 200ml water

orange juice (or lime juice)

1
Cream the margarine and the sugar until light and fluffy. Whisk the eggs into the sugar/margarine mixture.
2
Slowly add the flour (sieved), baking powder, orange zest and coconut. Stir in a figure of 8 fashion.
3
Gradually add enough water to loosen the cake mix up a bit. It should be the consistency of a slightly thin custard.
4
Pour into a non stick cake tin, preferably with loose bottom. I use an 8'' round tin for this cake.
5
Bake on a middle/top shelf in the oven at 180 c for around 45 mins or until a skewer comes out clean.
6
Remove from tin and cool on wire rack. Once cooled, top with the icing or dust with icing sugar.
7
To make the icing, beat the margarine with the sugar & enough of the juice to form a spreadable icing. Cover the top of the cake & decorate with the jelly slices & dragees / silver balls.
