CLAUDIA RODEN'S ORANGE AND ALMOND CAKE
Moira Hodgson rooted this classic out of Claudia Roden's terrific cookbook, "Everything Tastes Better Outdoors," and brought it to The Times in 1987: a flourless orange and almond cake that goes beautifully with blueberries or peaches, and is the perfect thing to carry along on a picnic. Extremely moist, it consists of two seeded oranges (peel and all), ground almonds, sugar and eggs - and no flour. Baked in a hot oven, it will be done in just about an hour or so, longer if the orange pulp is extremely wet. Opening the oven door to check will not harm it.

ORANGE-ALMOND CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING RECIPE
I love the taste of Chocolate covered orange candy so I worked to come up with a cake reflecting those flavors. I love the texture the almonds give this cake. It's always a hit at potlucks. I have made it as a layer cake, Bundt cake or cup cakes. Enjoy.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line the base and sides of two deep 23cm cake tins. Boil the kettle. Put the butter and chocolate in a small pan and gently heat, stirring, until completely melted. Mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda with a pinch of salt in your largest mixing bowl. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, orange zest and juice together in a jug. Scrape the melted chocolate mixture and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, add 150ml boiling water and whizz briefly with an electric whisk until the cake batter is lump-free. Divide between the tins and bake for 45 mins - swapping the tins round after 30 mins if on different shelves. To test they're done, push in a skewer and check that it comes out clean. Cool the cakes in their tins.
- Meanwhile, make the marzipan. Mix the sugars, ground almonds and cocoa in a bowl. Make a well in the middle, tip in the egg and egg yolk and mix together with a cutlery knife before kneading with your hands to a smooth ball. Wrap in cling film and set aside. Will keep in the fridge for 1 week if making ahead.
- Make the frosting: beat the mascarpone and butter together until smooth. Sift in the icing sugar, add the zest, then beat again until combined.
- To assemble, split each cake in half horizontally. Dot a little frosting on your serving plate and sit one of the cake halves on top. You'll use about half the frosting to sandwich the cakes together - spread the plated-up cake with some frosting, then repeat to sandwich the remaining cakes on top. Brush the top of the cake with a tiny bit more frosting.
- Roll out the marzipan, on a dusting of cocoa if you need, to a rough 27cm circle. Using your cake tin like a cookie cutter, stamp out a marzipan circle, then carefully lift this onto the top of your cake. Roll the remaining marzipan into 11 small balls and stick them on top, using a little more frosting or water like glue. Spread the remaining frosting round the outside of the cake, then dust the top with a little more cocoa and icing sugar.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare two 8-9 inch round pans by lining the bottoms with wax paper circles, and buttering and dusting with flour. Place the cake mix, eggs, water, extracts & butter in a bowl. Add finely minced beet, if desired for color (it will turn the batter more orange colored, and leave red flecks like confetti in the cake.) Combine with mixer, and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared pans, & bake according to package directions, 29-34 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then invert onto cooling racks & remove from pans. Peel off wax paper & allow to finish cooling.
- 2. For frosting, combine powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, almond extract, and 1/2 cup water. Beat well. Remove a portion, which you will use to frost in between the 2 cake layers, and a small amount to create a swirl of white into the chocolate frosting on the top of the cake. Add orange extract to this portion, and a little powdered sugar if needed to get the consistency right. With the remaining frosting, add the cocoa powder, and any additional water needed.
- 3. When assembling the cake, frost the middle layer with the white frosting. Make a ring of chocolate chips along the outer edge. Poke the broken Poky sticks into the cake at intervals around the outer edge, and one in the middle, and then place the second layer of cake on top. Press down gently, securing your layers together. If you made orange taffy (by boiling the ingredients down into taffy consistency), you may place some on the top layer, either in a ring around the edge, or over the whole top. Frost the top and sides with chocolate frosting. I like to leave a gap on the sides in the middle so you can peak in on the middle white frosting layer. Use remaining white frosting to swirl into frosting on top of the cake. Make a swirl pattern using the chopped chocolate chips, on the top of the cake. Pipe star burst patterns with the chocolate frosting. Make a big star burst flower in the middle (5 starburst petals), and small starbursts staggered around the edge. I do some around the sides in the middle where the gap is, as well. Add colored dot sprinkles to sides and the flower on top, and then toasted almonds to the top of the side of the cake, with a few placed in the center star on the top of the cake.
