I made this for my mum coming round for dinner this weekend, was looking for something light and refreshing, it totally hit the spot. I served it with cream but you could also serve custard which I think would be nice.
The orange rind gives this cake a fragrant hint of citrus while the almond flour makes it moist and dense, so its virtually melt in the mouth. Perfect with an afternoon cuppa.
Used a 20cm cake tin.
220g icing sugar (leave a little for decoration at end)
90g plain flour
90g Almond flour
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp baking powder
6 egg whites
115 g soft butter
Rind of 1 orange
- Mix all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl
- Preheat the oven to 180 deg, grease a cake tin.
- Pour mixture into the baking tin and bake for about 25-30 mins or until a skewer comes clean. Oh so yummy!
