Gluten & Dairy Free Almond Orange Cake

This is one of my favorite “healthy” cake recipes. I got the original recipe from Great British Chefs website and tweaked it a bit to take out the whitensugar contents. It’s incredibly moist and fluffy, which I typically find lacking in gluten free recipes.

Makes 6 mini bundt cakes

(double recipe for 9 inch cake pan)

Ingredients

• 2 Large Navel Oranges

• 6 Eggs

• 250g Almond Flour

• 1 Tbsp Baking Powder

• 6 Medjool Dates (Pitted)

• 1/2 cup Coconut Sugar

• Pinch of Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 305F

2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and insert oranges. Simmer oranges for 2-3 hours until fork tender. Make sure the oranges are submerged the entire time.

3. Remove any seeds in the oranges and puree in blender with dates until smooth.

4. Whisk eggs and coconut sugar

5. Combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt

6. Combine the egg mixture with the almond flour mixture until fully incorporated

7. Whisk in 300g of orange puree. Batter should be sweet at this point. If not sweet enough you can add more coconut sugar or a little honey.

8. Grease your tin and bake. This recipe can take an hour + in the oven because of the low temperature.
