Our answer

Nigella's Almond And Orange Blossom Cake is a moist and delicately flavoured cake that can be made in gluten-free form. The cake has a closer texture than a regular sponge cake and it is excellent served as a dessert, maybe with some creme fraiche and berries. "Pudding" is the British term for dessert, hence Nigella refers to the cake as a "cake for pudding". These cakes are very versatile as they can double up as a coffee or tea-time treat and can be made a day or so in advance.

Other cakes that make good desserts are the Chocolate Olive Oil Cake, Lemon Tendercake With Blueberry Compote, Clementine Cake, Pear, Pistachio And Rose Cake, Honey Cake, Easy Almond Cake and Apple And Almond Cake.
