Description
This glazed orange almond cake is moist, flavorful, and topped with a glossy orange glaze, perfect for dessert or any special occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (200g) almond flour
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar using a hand mixer until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in fresh orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and fresh orange juice until smooth and glossy.
- Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides.
Notes
[‘Use fresh oranges for the best flavor.’, ‘Let the cake cool completely before glazing to avoid melting the icing.’, ‘Adjust the glaze consistency by adding more powdered sugar or orange juice as needed.’, ‘Garnish with slivered almonds or orange zest for extra flair.’]
