Grain Free Valencia Orange Cake
Ingredients
The cake:
- 2 Organic Valencia Oranges
- 4 Eggs
- 3/4 cup of Honey
- 2 cups of almond flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
Yields: 1 cake
Directions
- Place 2 whole Valencia oranges in a pot with enough water to cover them. Add a tightly sealed lid. The oranges will float, but they should be mostly covered. Simmer them in the pot for about 1-1/2 to 2 hours. When you can easily glide a toothpick or fork through them, they are ready. You can add water to them while they are cooking if necessary.
- Cool the oranges for a few minutes, slice them into wedges and remove any pits or inedible parts (like the nub where the stem was).
- Process the oranges until you have a smooth paste without lumps.
- Preheat over to 325 degrees F
- To get a slightly lighter cake separate the egg yolks and the egg whites, and then whip the egg whites separately until stiff peaks form. (I do this).
- In a bowl beat eggs yolks separately until blended and then beat in the honey and baking soda, salt, and almond flour.
- Fold in almond flour and orange paste into the egg and honey mixture and blend well.
- Fold the egg whites into the rest of the batter.
- Use a bundt pan or a spring form pan that is well buttered.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake 45 minutes (to an hour) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
