Gluten Free Spiced Orange and Almond cake
In the frenzy leading up to Christmas, my friend and I were inspired to make some of the dishes from Tom Kerridge’s Christmas programme. One of those dishes was this gluten free spiced orange cake made with almond flour. Watching him do it on the tele made it look really easy.

We gathered all the ingredients and late on Christmas Eve we decided to start making this. Here is where I say, you have to read the recipe and instructions before you attempt any recipe. Little did we know that this recipe would take quite a while to make as we had to firstly boil some oranges for an hour and a half. Not deterred, we soldiered on til the wee hours of the morning.
The process when simplified looks very easy, boil oranges, mash them up, mix in all the ingredients, bake, glaze, serve. In reality, there are no baking tricks needed, just quite a bit of time. By the time the cake finished baking, we decided to go to bed instead of making the other elements of the recipe, the ice cream and the spiced plum sauce.
The next day, we added a marmalade glaze to the cake and served it with some vanilla ice cream. It went down a treat.
