Elizabeth was Bobo’s niece. His sister Elsie had a daughter called Elizabeth.
This is Elizabeth’s cake, which Didi and Co used to enjoy when younger.
Method
Cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs, and fold in flour. *
(Or zap everything in a Magimix or similar).
Add the grated orange rind.
Line tin with greaseproof paper.
Put in a square tin.
And bake at 350 Fahrenheit for 20 mins.
Take out of the over and quickly pour over the juice of the orange and the 1 tablespoon of sugar. A little extra sugar can be scattered over the top.
Allow to cool and cut into pieces.
Memory: Didi used to have it as a child. Elizabeth used to cook it, and so did Puss and Mouse. Didi thinks that possibly it was a trendy recipe at the time (eg the 1950s) adding fresh fruit.
