It was no surprise when Miss J requested a PINK party to celebrate her 3rd birthday. Recently pink has become her favourite colour, and we happen to have a lot of it in this house! Miss A had the same preoccupation with the colour pink at the same age.

Delicious Flourless Orange Cake

This flourless orange and almond cake is simple to make and incredibly light, moist and delicious. It’s my “go to” cake when I want a break from chocolate (which is rare) and is the perfect finish to any meal or for morning tea. Whilst its very easy, it’s quite time consuming so you will need to set aside a couple of hours. The key to getting this cake just right is all in the timing. As soon as the edges are going golden, that’s the time to take this cake out.
