Looks delicious
ive just made this cake, would you recommend icing it or use a syrup? Or do you just eat as is?
Thanks.
Love this cake, very easy and so yummy.
Tasty! Used gluten free corn flour instead of rice flour as that was all I had. I think I could taste the difference in the texture but it was still nice.
Also, I had already juiced mandarins for a different recipe, so I used half and half- juice & pulp- instead of the boiled mandarins, and just added them raw. It all worked beautifully.
Bake cake at 180C
Can you please confirm that the cake is to be baked at 200 degrees, the same as the muffins?
I haven't tried to myself, but couldn't see the harm in trying! Let us know how it goes
Im wondering if I can substitute the almond meal for something nut free as Id like this to be playgroup friendly. But i will still be making this week for our household anyhow
I'm pleased you liked it!
Amazing! Took this to an afternoon tea and it was a hit! Thanks
