Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the fresh orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider folding in 1/2 cup of chopped almonds or chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
- Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of orange glaze made from powdered sugar and orange juice for an extra touch.
