    This cake is awesome...!!!
    Tangelo and Almond Syrup Cake Recipe!
    It is moist, with a hint of citrus flavour and it is covered with a sweet
    drizzle of syrup....and tastes wonderful!

    I haven't really tried tangelos before and recently they were at my local fruit shop and I thought I would try one.
    When I got home, I peeled one and indulged... tangelos are sweet with out being too
    overpowering like oranges.
    Of course, I went back to the fruit shop and stocked up.
    Having so many tangelos I decided to try using them in a recipe that I have been cooking for ages and using the tangelos as the flavour.
    Yes, the cake turned out- a crispy top with a soft 'pudding like' centre.
    In my home in went within 5 minutes and yes... I made another one the next day !!!
    I did do a little bit of a search about Tangelos....
    1. The tangelo, Citrus × tangelo, is a citrus fruit hybrid of mandarin orange and pomelo or grapefruit. Sometimes referred to as honeybells, tangelos are the size of an adult fist, have a tangerine taste, and are juicy at the expense of flesh. Wikipedia

    Ingredients
    • 120g butter
    • 2½ cups almond meal
    • ½ cup of Self Raising gluten free flour
    • juice of 2 tangelos
    • juice of ½ lemon1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions
    1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line the base of a ring pan with baking paper.
    2. Place the butter and sugar in the bowl and using a hand electric mixer beat on high until creamy and fluffy.
    3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until the mixture is fully mixed.
    4. Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the plain yoghurt and add to the butter mixture, along with the Tangelo, lemon juice and vanilla extract.
    5. Beat on a slow speed to ensure all ingredients are mixed.
    6. Finally, using a spatula, gently fold through the almond meal and self raising gluten free flour so that you end up with an even, wet batter.
    7. Pour into the ring tin and bake for 45 minutes, or until a cake skewer comes out clean.

    This cake is fantastic without the syrup too.
    If you don't like the syrup or anything a little sweet, you can simply dust the cake with icing sugar!

    The syrup is easy!
    Simply add ½ cup of sugar and the juice of one tangelo to a saucepan (you can add a little of the pulp too) and bring to the boil for about 10 to 15 minutes- or until it is of syrup consistency.
    Drizzle over the cake and you can served immediately (like we do..)
    or you can wait for the syrup to seep through the cake.
    Both ways are delicious!
    This Tangelo and Almond Syrup Cake recipe is our new 'go to' recipe when we are invited out to friends for tea... and maybe when my teenage boys are just needing a little bit of 'baking love'
    (...maybe their mum as well 🙂
