Almond and orange blossom cake from How to Eat: The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food (page 129) by Nigella Lawson

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    We loved this cake. We were celebrating good news so ate it wish some fresh whipped cream. I did not wrap and store the cake before eating- who has that kind of will power?!?

    This came together really easily. Used gluten-free flour instead of regular and this worked well (very small amount which no doubt helped). As per instructions I made this a few days before eating it and I paired it with the recipe for strawberries in balsamic vinegar in the same book - the combination was excellent
