Oops! I'm new to food 52 and didn't see that people were supposed to reserve community picks... This is already in the oven! Never mind. I'm sure it'll be wonderful even if I don't get to review it!

Just wanted to say it is lovely!! I haven't added the glaze yet, but it's beautifully fluffy and firm and so so orange-y (which is impressive seeing as I have a streaming cold and can hardly taste a thing!)

I made mine with mainly orange juice (a few teaspoons of lemon) and cooked it for an hour in a one pound loaf tin in an electric oven.

This is going to be wonderful tomorrow :)

Sounds delicious - I love creme fraiche with everything :)
