    This orange almond cake is a dairy free cake with whole boiled oranges used in place of butter. They give moisture to the cake texture along with the orange flavour. A great gluten free option too!

    This is very similar to my dairy free lemon cake with the oranges being boiled first but yields for a lovely moist cake.   Easy to make, easier to eat!  Make sure that the oranges are organic as the whole orange, skin included it used. The pips do need to be removed though.

    Making an Orange Almond Cake

    The oranges need to be boiled for at least an hour until they are soft enough to blend. Before you blend them, you need to cut them into quarters to remove the pips.

    Ideally, a Valencia are a great orange to use as they are full of flavour, bright in colour. Althugh oranges are not in the top low carb fruits, you only eat a small amount of them in this cake.

    I've also made this orange almond cake in the blender. After blending the boiled oranges, I threw the remaining ingredients in, blitzed and then baked. It worked out fine and saved on the washing up!

          Of course! Monkfruit is a good one.

      I like the sound of this cake but being a diabetic type2 the cup of honey has discouraged me from making. What do you think about agve syrup instead?

        I've also used ground erthyritol in place of the honey for this and it worked out fine. A little less moist, but still tasty. Feel free to use the sweetner of your choice. Spookily enough I am currently reading this article on sweetners that you might find interesting too! http://www.ruled.me/keto-diet-plan-best-and-worst-sweeteners/
