Darina Allen: Remembering Auntie Florence with love and her famous orange cake

She loved to cook so when we see the stock pots bubbling, they will always remind us of Auntie Florence as will these recipes which I joyfully share with you

Auntie Florence

My Auntie Florence was quite the character: tiny in stature but a huge presence. We used to call her Mrs Tiggy Winkle after the famous character in Beatrix Potter’s tales from the Lake District.

In her later years, she seemed to have shrunk in stature but certainly not in personality.
