This delightful Orange & Almond Cake is a moist and flavorful dessert that's naturally gluten-free. Combining the zesty freshness of whole oranges with the nutty richness of ground almonds, this cake is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're baking for a family gathering or just craving a delicious treat, this recipe is sure to impress.
- Ensure the oranges are thoroughly washed before boiling to remove any wax or pesticide residues.
- Boiling the oranges for a full 2 hours may seem long but it's essential to soften them and reduce bitterness.
- If you prefer a less chunky texture, process the boiled oranges to a smoother consistency before adding to the batter.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan to ensure that it sets well and is easier to slice.
- Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week; its flavors will continue to develop over time.
- For a decorative touch, sprinkle with powdered sugar or garnish with orange zest before serving.
Enjoy your homemade Orange & Almond Cake fresh out of the oven, or let it sit overnight for even more developed flavors. Serve it with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This cake is not just a dessert; it's a versatile treat that pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. Share it with loved ones and relish the compliments that are sure to follow!
