  I made this for our Mother's Day tea and it was absolutely scrummy! It is wonderful served at room temperature topped with whipped cream. I will definitely make this again!

  The first time I made this I forgot the ground almonds, it turned out perfectly anyway. The second time I substituted the almonds for flour and added some almond essence. The third time I followed the recipe to the T and the cake became cracked. Either of the three ways it was delicious!!

  I love the fact that this recipe includes slices of fresh orange on top of the sponge itself, the textures work really well together! If you are a fan of citrus sponges, we have a lower-fat sponge cake with lemon curd filling that you could also try: http://bit.ly/n4RmyY Helen@Activia

  Though the cake was good, the orange slices on the top were bitter. Am I doing something wrong here ?

  Made it with blood oranges and added cardamom to the sponge mix - also made my own syrup (agave syrup, honey and orange peel brought to boil for a couple of minutes) Served with creme fraiche and devoured! Delicious. Keen to try other fruits and syrup flavours.
