Great cake and so easy to make. Couldn't get any simpler than bumping everything into the food processor and then pouring into a cake pan. I didn't use the icing sugar for dusting. Used the rind of two oranges cooked with the syrup topping. I just love these kind of cakes made on almond meal and this cake is a great cake for anyone cooking for someone who needs gluten-free as no special gf ingredients are called for. I served my cake served with thick rich Greek yogurt. Delicious. Photo also to be posted. This cake easily serves 12. Made for Make my Recipe Tag Game in the Aus/NZ Forum.
