Directions
Spiced Orange and Almond Cake,This is a lovely cake and works particularly well as a lighter alternative dessert after a big festive dinner. The beauty of this cake is that the spiced flavour comes entirely from the syrup, so you can choose how much syrup to pour over depending on preferred taste.,TDF! This was soooo goooood! used parchment paper and didn’t have any trouble with the cake coming out in one piece. Like Leggy Peggy, I love that the whole lemon was used up. In most cases, when a recipe calls for just a little zest, I just add it from the whole lemon. Love the taste of lemon! Thnx for sharing your recipe, Shuzbud. Made for the Voracious Vagabonds on ZWT 6.,This cake tastes wonderful but I wasn’t quite sure when to take it out of the pan. I think I made the mistake of adding the syrup while it was still in the pan and then tried to remove it. Some of it stuck so It didn’t look very pretty. Next time I will either leave it in the pan to serve, or remove it from the pan, then add the syrup. I might also use a parchment circle to keep it from sticking. The texture was really nice, kind of custardy from the eggs but with a heavier texture coming from the ground almonds. Even though there was no butter, it kind of had a nice buttery taste! Made for ZWT6 by an Unruly Under the INfluence. ZINGO
