This cake was birthed out of a kitchen disaster when I was having problems chopping the cooked oranges in the blender for the original Spanish orange and almond cake recipe when pieces of the plastic spatula ended up in the orange mixture. Needless to say I didn’t want to poison my friends calling over to afternoon coffee so I had to start again. I had no more oranges left so lemons and raspberries came to the rescue!! This is a wonderfully moist and tasty cake, as is the original recipe found on http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/2758/spanish-orange-and-almond-cake.aspx. Both cakes are wonderful for a party and keep fresh for several days; in fact they get better after a day or two.
