Sorry fundj, an orange tin is a cake tin specifically designed for orange cakes!! I used to make cakes for our local show and that's what was required for orange cakes...

I use my small loaf tin - 23 cm long x 10cm wide x 9cm deep. Any loaf tin as long as it's not too big. It's not a huge cake, as you can imagine, with only 1 cup of flour.

Thanks lellyj. Yes, and I've modified that original recipe to the one posted on this thread.
Kathryn, yes, that's pretty much the sort of tin I mean. It's basically a loaf tin.

I just checked fundj and the recipe here says 'the juice of half an orange'. I had the word 'and' instead of 'an' which may have confused you! I've changed that bit now. :P
