The idea for this easy grain-free cake recipe came from one of my favorite cookbook authors, Claudia Roden. Her recipe is called 
Gateau a l’Orange. Nigella Lawson also has a a citrus cake recipe using fruit and peel made with clementines.

I am curious if anyone has tried maple syrup instead of honey for this recipe? Thank you.
Jenny, thanks for your comment! I would love to know too, guessing it would work fine, but cannot confirm :-)
