Orange and Almond Cake

I recently came across a video of Nigella Lawson making a clementine cake. The first step involved boiling the fruit for two hours and then blending it to make a purée; skin and all. It just made sense. I’ve made an orange cake before using just the zest, and so good though as it is, if you’re looking for a real hit and punch of citrus, you want to try this. This cake is completely gluten-free (if you’re fussed about that kind of thing), has no butter or oil present (whaaat), and without exaggeration, possibly the most moist cake that I’ve ever eaten. I seriously don’t know how this crazy chemistry works, but it does, and makes it react into something so damn delicious! Try it, please.
