ORANGE-ANDALMOND CAKE
“Baking over Pesach is a challenge as the ingredients are very limited. Claudia Roden’s classic almond-and-orange cake is perfect. It's sweet without being overwhelming and the delightful orange flavour comes through in every mouthful. I often make them in miniature bundt tins and drench in a citrus syrup. They also make a glorious dessert served with crème fraîche.” – Tracy Klass, comedian and cook, @atasteofklass_
