It was wonderfully comforting (if a tad bitter for my 9 year old daughter.) i loved the texture the almonsd give the cake don't you. and i knew it was the same recipe, as soon as i saw your pic, cos my cake had that lovely textured top too.shrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360341668354098694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-51347000114507169692013-02-19T10:59:12.197+00:002013-02-19T10:59:12.197+00:00Blood oranges are marvellous.Blood oranges are marvellous.Cakelawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205068748520541380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-28087811744467825822013-02-16T10:34:01.126+00:002013-02-16T10:34:01.126+00:00I'm definitely making this one.

Not having any fat, other than what's in the almonds is really unusual. I want to try it now to see for myself what it is like.
