Flourless Orange & Almond Cake

Flourless Orange & Almond Cake

This may be the BEST orange and almond cake we've ever eaten-- and we've eaten a lot of orange and almond cake!

For this recipe we used our orange preserve and it seems to have made all the delicious difference!

A beautifully simple recipe using whole foods.

This is a wonderful moist cake that's full of orange flavour, achieved by using the whole oranges (rind and all!) alongside our spiced orange preserve. Boiling the oranges removes the bitterness from the pith (the white part). 

It's such a great and easy cake that's perfect for any gatherings as it's also gluten-free.
