When I first tried this recipe I did a bit of a boo boo! the recipe called for cranberries but I didn’t have any so I used sultanas instead, bigggggggggggggggggggggg mistake!!!!!!!, the sultans were too heavy for the cake mix and ended up sinking to the bottom of the tin boo hoo :(, when the cake came out the sultanas had a very bitter slightly burnt taste however the cake was actually very yummy and moist (the original recipe used lemons and not orange like I changed it to) if you fancy the lemon recipe use the adapted recipe below. I took this cake to work and I gave one of the slices to my colleague with the sultanas facing upwards and he actually thought it was really clever how I managed to get the sultanas at the top! lolol still makes me chuckle.<\/p>\n

I wanted to change the recipe to make it more Christmasy so instead of using lemon, I used orange as they both work so well together and for the added twist I added some ground almonds yummmmmmmmmmy! but you don’t have to use the almonds.<\/p>\n
