Recipe Scene: Flourless Orange Syrup Cake
This cake is super easy – once the oranges have been poached you just throw 5 ingredients in the food processor. After it has cooked you can cover it with the orange syrup, top with caramelized orange slices or dust with icing sugar. Because it’s so moist it keeps really well. Like all dessert cakes it should be served with cream and / or ice cream. Just don’t buy reduced fat cream as i accidentally did last night, as it will never thicken!
