orange and almond cake ready to cut served with clotted cream

Orange & Almond Cake

Whole oranges are the secret to this simple Orange & Almond Cake. Boil them until completely soft, then blitz the whole lot, peel and all. Ground almonds give the cake its lovely moist texture, while the orange brings loads of flavour without the need for a syrup. Bake it gently in the Charlie, dust with icing sugar and serve with a big spoonful of crème fraîche.
