Flourless Orange and Almond Cake
I feel a bit lost, there is so much I want to show you but I can't.
My camera is still at the shop and I feel a little naked without it.
For now I'll share this recipe with you, luckily there was a photo of it on my hard drive.
You'll need a food processor for this as it uses whole oranges and they need to be whizzed up.

This looks so yummy. I've just printed it off and might make it today. I have too many oranges, I didn't know what to do with, and my daughter asked to bake a cake. Sound like fate to me.
