Blood Orange Cake by The Fat Foodie

This blood orange cake was created after a strong wave of nostalgia spurred me on to buy a handful of blood oranges from Lidl the other day. My granddad loved blood oranges and he wasn’t stingy about sharing them with me when I was a kid either.

The other day I was contacted by the publisher Modern Books and asked if I’d like to review a copy of Calm Belly Cookbook by the Norwegian low FODMAP writer Cecilie Hauge Ågotnes who runs the website Low FODMAP Blog. I jumped at the chance to have a read of Cecilie’s book and got my copy a few days later.

Yes, I have included Amazon affiliate links to the book, but it’s entirely up to you as to whether or not you’d like to use them.
