  1. I have been trying a number of almond cake recipes and I always
    come back to Claudia Roden’s orange and almond cake but now that I have tried this one I think it is my favourite recipe. I know it’s not strictly gluten-free but I added a teaspoon of baking powder.

  2. I am attaching a photo. I do not know what I did ( other than the conversions).
    The cake is sunken and lopsided.
    I was so disappointed.
    What could I have done wrong to produce thi sunken and lopsided cake?

  3. 5 stars
    This cake is so good, becoming one of my favorite desserts. So easy and so delicious : you cannot stop eating it.
    Thank you so much for the recipe.
