“I’ve made Claudia Roden’s boiled orange and almond cake more times than I can count. Sometimes, I use the original as a starting point for my own versions, such as this one here. It’s beautiful as it is, but if you really want to gild the lily, you can melt a little dark chocolate and trickle it over the top when the cake is cold. And if you don’t fancy making the crystalised orange slices, just use the trickled chocolate on its own to decorate the cake.” Debora Robertson
