Clementine Cake
Amanda stumbled over this recipe and I thought it sounded intriguing. Just an uncomplicated mixture of almond flour, baking powder, boiled oranges, sugar, and egg. I think this may be my favorite cake. I ran out of almond flour so I ground my own and the result was coarse but I think I may prefer it that way.
Apparently it only gets better the longer it sits out?
