Three-ingredient orange loaf cake

1 loaf
Easy
1 hour
45 minutes

This recipe was part of a series in which we tested online hacks. Our verdict? While this does surprisingly result in something resembling a loaf cake, it is a little dense – and it's not really a hack as the boiling and blitzing the oranges is messy and time-consuming. The original recipe was inspired by one by Good Housekeeping UK. We added blueberries, salt and a little icing for a slightly more complex twist.
