Ingredients

125 gram low-fat spread

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 orange, grated rind

1 1/2 cup self-raising flour, sifted

1 cup sultana bran

1/2 cup orange juice

orange rind strips, to serve

Icing

125 gram low-fat cream cheese, at room temperature

1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted

1 teaspoon finely grated orange rind

1 teaspoon orange juice

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper patty cases.

2.In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat spread and sugar together until pale and creamy.

3.Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in rind.

4.Lightly fold flour, sultana bran and juice into creamed mixture. Spoon into prepared pan until two-thirds full; bake 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

5.To make the icing, in a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat all ingredients together until smooth. Spread icing over patty cakes. Top with orange-rind strips.

To “fold” means to mix liquid or dry ingredients with a gentle lifting motion, rather than beating vigorously. This helps produce a tender cake.
