Orange Almond Cake

Cake Recipes, Gluten Free Desserts | 0 comments

I got the notion one day that oranges and almond flour would make a good cake combination. In doing some research on the matter I found a number or recipes for cakes similar to the one below. It seems to be a popular cake in many cultures – I found British (Nigella Lawson makes a version with clementines) and Persian versions, not to mention Martha Stewart’s version. While gluten-free most recipes I found were made with white sugar. I used ample syrup to sweeten my version, and it turned out very moist and delicious.
