Mmmmmmmmmoist almond and orange cake

When I saw this recipe, I just had to try it. In this recipe there's no flour and no butter. Sounds good to me. You'll have to boil (!) organic oranges and then you have to process them, including the peel. It sounds strange but it really works!





What do you need?


2 organic oranges
250 g ground almonds
250 g white sugar
6 eggs
2 tbsp orange blossom water
1 tsp (glutenfree) baking powder


Take a large saucepan, fill it with water and bring to the boil. Wash the oranges thoroughly and put them in the water. Put a lid on the pan and let it boil for 90 minutes.

Drain the oranges, cut them in four and remove all the pits. Process them in a food processor until smooth.

Whisk the eggs with the sugar until white and very thick (5 minutes). Slowly whisk in the almond flour, orange blossom water, baking powder and the processed oranges.

Grease a baking tin with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper. Pour in the batter and let it bake in a pre-heated oven for 50 to 60 minutes at 190°C.

Have fun!
