Lake: The ground almonds are much coarser in texture than all-purpose flour. I would be hesitant to use all-purpose or whole-wheat flour in place of the ground almonds, both in terms of the structure/texture and the taste of this recipe. That said, I do hope you give this a try, with ground almonds or without. If you (bravely!) try it without the ground almonds (using flour instead), let us know how it goes!

I love the simplicity of this recipe. Is there a particular structural or flavor reason why it has almond flour instead of regular flour? Do you think wheat flour would work as well, or would it alter it negatively?

Even in sunny California, where we actually grow tangerines on our front porch, we keep a bowl of Clementines through the winter. And I love that clementine cake, though I’ve never made the chocolate version! I’ll have to try it – I love chocolate and orange together.

I’m sure Fake Spring will end here in Seattle just as soon as I put my garden in. Sigh.

I know, Winter disguised itself here as Spring and I too, fell into it’s trap! But while it lasted it was a seasonal affair I was happy to have! Now, I had to put my coat back on today!
Your photography is fabulous. And what is that wonderful cake? Yummy!
So nice to stop by and meet you today.

Oh my goodness. We, too, have had a Sunday-replenished bowl of clementines all winter. This recipe and the photos all look amazing.
