Tunisian Orange and Almond Cake (Dairy-Free)

Ingredients

• 2 large Oranges
• 2 cups Almond Flour
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1/2 cup Olive Oil
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a cake pan by greasing and flouring it.
2. 2Place the 2 whole Oranges in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 hour. Carefully remove the oranges from the hot water and let them cool slightly until they are safe to handle.
3. 3Cut the cooled oranges in half and remove any seeds. Place the entire oranges, including the peel, into a food processor and blend until they form a smooth purée.
4. 4In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of Almond Flour, 2 teaspoons of Baking Powder, and 1 cup of Sugar.
5. 5In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 4 large Eggs, 1/2 cup of Olive Oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of Almond Extract until well combined.
6. 6Pour the wet ingredients from the medium bowl into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, then add the puréed orange mixture. Stir everything together until you have a smooth batter.
7. 7Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. 8Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
