Not to mention that zest doesnt makefrostingsandcake batterswatery.
So we like rind for flavour.
But we dont like the pith the white part underneath the skin because its bitter.
Solution:boil the oranges.
Almond flouris different but can also be used.
This is made with blanched, peeled almonds, blitzed until it becomes powder form.
It also has a slightly less pronounced almond flavour.Almond flour is not as common in Australia.
Ive purchased it from those health food places where you serve yourself from tubs, like Scoop Wholefoods.
Also, using whole oranges delivers massive orange flavour that OJ can never replicate!!
But obviously if you have tiny ones, use multiple!
Tried, and it was too bitter because the ratio of pith to flesh is higher.
But it had a gorgeous lemon flavour.Still working on it!
After this, they are blitzed rind and all with the remaining ingredients to make the batter.
Then blitz and bake!
A NutriBullet works brilliantly for the blitzing but is too small for the whole batch of batter .
It may take longer depending on the strength of your food processor.
Add the remaining ingredients almond meal, baking powder, sugar and eggs, then blitz until well combined.
The cake will shrink some, as it’s possible for you to see in the photo above.
Ive seen some recipes that soak similar cakes in orange syrup too sweet for me!
Orange part only, not the white pith.
For tight ringlets, leave overnight!

Not edible, just for decorations!
Theyre not orange blossoms either unfortunately….
Candied orange peelor dried orange slices scatter!
With or without icing sugar;
Toasted almonds flakes or slivers.
Drippy lemon or orange glaze use the one in thisLemon Yogurt Cakerecipe.
Plain or Greek yogurt is best, or a very mildly sweet flavoured one.
For a richer alternative, creme fraiche would be lovely.
Its also very, very good served ever-so-slightly warmed with a scoop of ice cream on top.
Perhaps not conventional but it works, and thats what matters!
Also for gluten-free purposes and just because its darn tasty a suggested alternative to this cake isFlourless Chocolate Cake.
New video for this one is coming soon!
