Ingredients
- Almond butter
- 1 cup
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Eggs
- 3 large
- Oranges
- 2, zested and juiced
- Almond flour
- 2 cups
- Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Powdered sugar
- for dusting, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, or line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the almond butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Mix in the orange zest and juice, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender cake.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown on top.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider folding in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
- This cake can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
