ORANGE, ALMOND & ROSE WATER CAKE

I served this cake to my guests on our wedding day. It is incredibly orangey and moist and only contains a few ingredients! It also happens to be gluten free. A great make ahead cake as it stays incredibly moist, best kept in the fridge.

One of the tastiest meals I ate while travelling around Mexico was a spicy barbecue chicken served with baby potatoes, jalapeños and soft corn tortillas. The chicken was cooked on a rotisserie barbecue with a bed of new potatoes roasting underneath. The spicy chicken juices dripped down onto the potatoes making them seriously delicious. This is my take on that delicious meal, cooked on the barbecue using Wilcox Baby Perlas Potatoes. Recipe is up on the blog now. Thanks to the lovely folk at @wilcoxgoodnessnz for sponsoring this post. #aperlasummer #perlaspotatoes #wilcoxgoodness #collab
