Orange & almond cake
This is a gluten free recipe. If you are ok to eat gluten, you can make a much cheaper version of just orange cake. But the almond makes it more delicious. You could try half and half as well. Delicious cold with a cup of tea or warm served with a dollop of creme fraiche as a pudding.

2 oranges
230g unsalted butter
230g ground almonds
2 1/2 tbsp gluten free baking powder
