Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
200g
1 tsp coconut oil
5g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
2 eggs
100g
3 cups self-raising flour
450g
1/3 cup almonds
40g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g
1 tbsp orange juice
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Prepare Almonds:
Finely chop or process the almonds in a food processor until they resemble crumbs. Set aside.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and coconut oil until well combined. Gradually add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour in the milk and mix until thoroughly combined.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
Gradually fold in the self-raising flour, mixing until just combined. You don’t want to overmix the batter as this can make the cake dense.
5. Add Almonds:
Gently fold in the finely chopped almonds into the batter.
6. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Prepare the Orange Glaze:
While the cake is baking, prepare the orange glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth and lump-free.
8. Cool and Glaze:
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the orange glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
9. Serve:
Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy the delightful combination of coconut, almonds, and orange in every bite!

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start to mix them. This helps in creating a smooth batter.

- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor. Bottle juices can have preservatives that affect the taste.

- To make sure the cake doesn’t stick, grease your baking pan thoroughly with coconut oil and dust it lightly with flour.

- Fold the batter gently to retain air and make the cake light and airy.

- Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

- For an added twist, garnish with toasted coconut flakes or a thin orange glaze made from powdered sugar and orange juice.

Congratulations! You've just made a Whole Orange Coconut Cake that's both delectable and visually appealing. Whether serving it at a celebration or as a sweet weekend treat, this cake is bound to be a hit. Enjoy the moist, fragrant layers with the crunchy bits of almonds and the refreshing taste of orange.
