The girls are always asking me for lemon drizzle cake - it seems that the school makes a fabulous one for snack time. Of course I couldn't go with a standard version, and wanted to incorporate a couple of different ideas. As well as lemons, I wanted to use blood oranges for a fuller scent load, and a pink icing. And given my recent obsession with frangipane and nut flours, I also wanted to include a little ground almond into the cake, though I suspect you could probably swap that for polenta too.

Almond and Citrus Drizzle Cake

Beautiful bergamots
I'm going to shamelessly copy an articleby Sudi in the Independent, not just
because it's an interesting piece on the
versatility of bergamot, but also because
I'm mentioned.
