Thought it was about time we started sharing our cake receipes so heres the Tunisian Orange and Almond Cake receipe to kick it off......
Ingredients for the Cake - 325 grams Ground Almonds / 200 grams Caster Sugar / 2 rounded Teaspoons Baking Powder / 225ml Vegetable Oil / 5 Large Eggs / Chopped Zest of 2 Oranges and 1 Lemon.
Lightly oil and line a round 20cm spring form cake tin.
Beat oil and eggs together for 5 minutes. Add dry ingredients and zest and beat together well. Place mix in the tins and bake for 1 hour in a 180 degree pre heated oven / 160 degree for fan assisted.
Ingredients for syrup - Juice of 2 oranges and 1 lemon / 140 grams caster sugar / 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Start making the syrup 10 minutes before the cake is ready.
Place all the syrup ingredients into a sauce pan and bring to a gentle boil. The syrup needs to boil for around 5 minutes no more than 10 minutes, leave to cool slightly. At this point the cake should be coming out of the oven. Let the cake cool for five minutes and then carefully take it out of its tin. Place the cake onto a flat plate and put the spring form part of the tin back around it. Pierce the top of the cake all over with a skewer. Pour the still warm syrup over the cake and decorate with a little orange and lemon zest leave to cool...........leave comments on the wall if you try / like this receipe.........................
