St. Clement's Cake

RECIPE

• Cream half the butter with half the sugar.
• Beat in the egg yolks with the orange rind then add the orange juice.
• Fold in half of the flour and keep the orange cake mixture aside.
• Cream the remaining butter with the remaining sugar.
• Add the lemon rind then the lemon juice.
• Fold in the flour and the ground almonds.
• In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
• Fold in delicately the egg whites with the lemon cake mixture.
• Grease a round tin (I used butter) then spoon alternatively the lemon cake mixture and the orange cake mixture to have a marbled effect.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 45 to 50 minutes
• When the cake is ready, let it cool for 10 minutes in the tin then unmold and leave it to cool on a wire wrack.
• Mix, one spoon at a time, the icing sugar with the lemon juice.
• Pour the icing over the cake with a spoon, then decorate with the flaked almonds
