Macrobiotic Chef, Counsellor (and fianc\u00e9) Nicky Clinch prepares to make a wish and blow out the candles on her Orange & Almond Birthday Cake. This is a recipe which has graced these pages previously, and is always worth revisiting. Dead simple to make, moist and delicious to eat. To quote Nicky, after this shot was taken: ‘It’s the best cake I’ve ever had!’ Thanks to Jessica Lehmann, who passed on this adaptation from the original Claudia Roden recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Orange and Almond Cake
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 Oranges
\n6 Eggs
\n250 g (8.8oz) Ground almonds
\nRice Syrup\/Maple Syrup
\n1 tsp Baking powder
\nbutter and sprinkling of flour for the cake tin<\/p>\n

Icing<\/strong>
\nWhite Almond Butter
\nVanilla Essence
\nOrange Rind
\nOat or Rice Milk
\nMaple Syrup<\/p>\n

Wash and boil the oranges unpeeled, in water to cover for 1 1\/2 hours or until they are very soft. Let them cool, then cut them open, remove the pips and turn them into a puree in a food processor.<\/p>\n

Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add all the other ingredients, mix thoroughly and pour into a buttered and floured cake tin with a removable base if possible.<\/p>\n

Bake in a preheated moderately hot 190\u00baC oven for about 30 mins. If it is still very wet leave it in the oven for a little longer. Turn out of tin and leave to cool before Icing.<\/p>\n

For the icing, heat Almond Butter in a Saucepan with Vanilla, Orange Rind and a little sweetener. Add Oat or Rice Milk. Leave to cool in water bath, before spreading on cake.<\/p>\n
