Ingredients

Olive oil

2 large oranges or blood oranges

200g runny honey

200g ground almonds

200g self-raising flour

200g Greek yoghurt

2 tsp vanilla bean paste

2 large free-range eggs

Rose water (optional)


Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C (200C non-fan). Line a 20cm x 30cm roasting tray with a sheet of greaseproof paper, then rub it with olive oil. Finely grate the orange zest into a large bowl and put aside, then take your time to very finely slice 1 orange into rounds. Layer it into the tray, drizzle with 100g honey and bake for 20 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, add the almonds, flour, yoghurt and vanilla paste to the bowl of orange zest. Crack in the eggs, add 200ml olive oil, a small pinch of sea salt, the remaining 100g honey and a small thimble of rose water, if using. Whisk together well.

3. Remove the tray from the oven, gently pour the cake batter over the orange slices and return to the oven for 35 minutes, or until golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean. Turn the cake out onto a board and carefully peel away the greaseproof paper. Nice served warm with a dollop of yoghurt or custard.


Recipe inspiration My dear Nan loved a traybaked sponge. With the combination of honey, almonds and orange here reminiscent of Greece, it's like I've sent her on her holidays in the form of a cake. I think she would have really liked this one.
