Tip

I used Billington's Golden Granulated Sugar in this recipe and it was lovely.  The original basis for this recipe was published in Taste Magazine using coconut sugar which can now be found in most supermarkets.

  • I used almond meal instead of

    Submitted by zugarbabie on 22. September 2014 - 19:28.

    I used almond meal instead of grinding up almond from scratched and accidentally added the almond meal at step 2 instead of step 4. The over beating of almond meal probably made the cake more dense and texture like a brownie. Nevertheless, the cake tastes great - it is smooth and melts in the mouth even without using oil/butter and  the tangy orange flavour cuts nicely through the cacao.
