Moroccan Orange Cake
- 50g slightly stale white breadcrumbs (1 slice)
- 200g caster sugar (1 cup minus 1 tsp.)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 100g ground almonds (1 cup plus 3 TBS)
- 200ml sunflower oil (7 fluid ounces)
- 4 large free range eggs
- the finely grated zest of 1 large unwaxed orange
- the finely grated zest of one unwaxed lemon
- Whipped cream or Greek Yogurt to serve
- the juice of 1 large orange
- the juice of 1 lemon
- 75g caster sugar (1/3 cup, slightly heaped)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 whole cloves
- Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F/ gas mark 4. Butter and flour an 8 inch round cake tin. Line the bottom with baking paper. (I used a spring form pan.)
- Rub the fruit zests into the sugar with your fingertips until quite fragrant. Stir together with the bread crumbs, ground almonds and sifted baking powder. Whisk the oil together with the eggs. Add all at once to the dry mixture, mixing well together. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes until the cake is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
- While the cake is baking make the citrus syrup. Put all of the ingredients into a small saucepan. Bring gently to the boil, stirring constantly. Reduce to a simmer and simmer for about 3 minutes at which time the sugar should be completely dissolved and a thickish syrup formed. Discard the cinnamon stick and the whole cloves.
- Poke holes all over the surface of the cake with a toothpick or skewer. Spoon the hot syrup over the cake allowing it to soak in. Spoon any excess syrup back over the cake every now and then until it is all soaked in.
- Cut into wedges to serve along with some whipped cream or Greek yogurt.
