This recipe was developed as a way to use up all those pathetic, withered citrus bits in my fruit basket.



Citrus Cake



1 lemon

1 lime

1 orange

1 cup soft margarine

2 cup white sugar

4 eggs

3 cups flour

½ teaspoon baking soda



Glaze



¼ cup icing sugar

juice of half a lemon



Preheat oven to 350F.



Zest the three citrus fruits, and set aside the zest. With a sharp knife remove the membrane from all the fruits. Place cleaned fruits into a blender or food processor and blitz until pureed. This should yield 1 cup, more or less, of juice and pulp.



Place all ingredients, but for the glaze ingredients, into a food processor or stand mixer and whiz until well-combined, scraping edges of bowl once or twice during process.



Pour batter into a 9" greased and floured cake tin and bake for 45-60 minutes until a knife inserted in the centre comes away clean.



Cool on a wire rack, unearth onto a plate. Mix the glaze and drizzle over the cake, garnishing with a few citrus curls.
