If I had to choose a dessert to epitomise the sixties, this would be on the Top 3 list. The fact that its served in a freaking pineapple just says so much about this dish.

Speedy Orange Cake - 1960's (Marguerite Patten Index Card 5)
I have such good memories of this recipe. It reminds me of that quintessentially English past time of High Tea or even being a young lad at the village Fete etc.
It is also pretty easy, as most of Marguerite Patten's recipes are. If you don't like Orange, you can use Lemon rind instead.
