Moroccan Orange Almond Cake

There has always been a close link between Gibraltar and Morocco. We are a very close community and harmoniously live with other nationalities, irrespective of religious creeds or traditions.  Obviously Gibraltarian cuisine is strongly influenced by all these other traditional dishes which have found their way into our homes.

This recipe was given to me by a moroccan friend. She made this very often whenever we had a birthday at work or any other do where we needed to bring a cake. However, she doesn’t like social media, so I’m not naming her in this recipe like I usually do with friends recipes.

It’s a very spongy moist cake, which contains no flour. A gluten free treat no doubt.

It’s also a very old traditional recipe -or so I’ve been told.  Its none the less a delightful morsel with an decadent orange taste. So so good.

Let me know if you try this recipe.
