Orange and honey blossom cake
“From sugary mint teas to flaky pastries and crunchy biscuits, Moroccans have a real sweet tooth and love to indulge in wonderful cakes. A simple orange and almond cake is a staple dessert that is made in homes up and down the country. I have used the classic base to make a show-stopping naked layer cake, with three layers of moist almond and orange cake, a soft and scented ricotta filling, and honeycomb, candied orange, rose petals and flaked almonds scattered over the top. It’s heavenly and best enjoyed with plenty of fresh mint tea,” says John. This recipe is an edited extract from Orange Blossom & Honey by John Gregory-Smith (Simon & Schuster, RRP $39.99). Available in stores now.
Sticky ginger cake with ginger syrup
