The orange cake sounded good so I followed your recipe, but the idea of boiling the oranges didn't sit well, so I tried it again. I zested the oranges, and used all the rest except for some of the pith. I just blended the raw oranges and zest in my Vitamix and then added the other ingredients. Much better, fresher tasting, not as bitter. Same consistency too. Like an orange cheese cake, almost. I love your website and have made many of your recipes.

I have Insulin Resistance and can't have carbs at all, except nuts & beans, so this is perfect. I can't have agave but the natural sugars in the oranges don't seem to bother me. I used Splenda and to combat that "sugarless" feel on the palate, I added the juice of 1/2 lemon, rind from 1/2 lemon, 1 tsp vanilla. No one could tell it was "sugar-free". Absolutely delicious!

I went wrong somewhere, like maybe my navel oranges were too large, but I still feel like boiling the oranges turned their fresh appeal into something flabby and a little acrid. Does anyone know the purpose for boiling whole oranges? I can't get my head around it and this recipe's been a success for so many of you posters. I'm jealous. Mine turned out SO GROSS.

I cannot use corn, but am doing well with agave. Sometimes I add a little pure maple syrup, too, for flavoring. I would love to have your book when you are finished. Dr.Cynthia,

I have been wanting to make this for so long, and after I saw yours I decided to dig in. I referenced your recipe as well as two cookbooks that I used. Thanks for turning me onto Claudia Roden's books. I love the history of food and culture. Hi Elana!
