Orange Almond Cake

This flourless orange almond cake is soft and moist. It is bursting with fresh orange flavor and has a lovely soft nutty taste. Why this recipe is worth making? It’s easy to make – There is no boiling, cooling, and pureeing of whole oranges in this recipe like most other recipes. Instead, it’s flavored with lots of orange zest for ease and convenience, and it’s still just as tasty. Full of flavor – The flavor is fresh and vibrant and full of orange flavor.

There’s a light nutty taste from the almond flour and sweet floral aroma from the almond extract. Great texture – This cake is tender and moist. The texture is a perfect balance between a light and fluffy sponge cake and soft cornbread. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy plain or with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream. This cake is great served with some fresh or macerated berries as well. Perfect dessert!
