This gluten-free cake uses almonds instead of flour, making it both nutritious and delicious. Topped with a scoop of ice cream, it's perfect for any special occasion or just a treat to indulge in.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the oranges in a pot and cover them with water.
- Bring the pot to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Let the oranges cook until they are very soft, which will take about 1-2 hours.
- Once cooked, drain the oranges and allow them to cool completely.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) cake pan with parchment paper.
- Once the oranges are cool, cut them into quarters and remove any seeds.
- Blend the oranges (peel included) in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are fluffy.
- Add the ground almonds, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, and chili powder to the eggs.
- Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the orange puree and mix until the batter is smooth and even.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Smooth the top with a spatula if necessary.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has completely cooled, cut it into slices.
- Serve each slice with a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
Tips:
- Make sure to zest the oranges before juicing them to incorporate as much citrus flavor as possible.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate more air, which helps give the cake a lighter texture.
- Grind the almonds finely to ensure a smooth batter and a more uniform cake.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to ensure it holds together well.
- Pair the cake with a vanilla or coffee-flavored ice cream for a complementary taste experience.
This spiced chocolate cake with ice cream is guaranteed to impress with its rich flavors and unique combination of spices. The almonds provide a great texture, and the hint of orange adds a refreshing twist. Serve it warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream for a dessert that's sure to be a hit.
