I am the first to admit that I am not a great baker. I am put off by the exact measuring, perfect oven temperatures and general attention to detail; having said that, I do have a few things that I can pull off. This Tunisian Almond & Orange Cake is always a crowd-pleaser. It’s very unique and dead simple. By the way, it’s best if you make it a day ahead!

German's chocolate cake, is a layered chocolate cake from the US filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. This version uses cocoa powder and is made into cupcakes.
