Ingredients
- 1 cup ground almond
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 4 eggs
- 4 Tbsp oil
- 1 cup finely grated carrot
- 2 organic oranges (zest and juice)
- ½ cup maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line a cake tin.
- Mix the almond meal, rice flour, baking powder and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- In another bowl lightly whisk the egg and add the oil. Grate the carrot finely then add to the bowl.
- Zest and juice the orange. Remove the membrane of the orange and put the flesh in a sauce pan. Add the orange juice and bring to the boil. Let it reduce by half then whiz it with a stick blender into a purée. Add the maple syrup or honey and the orange zest.
- Add the orange mixture to the flour then add the egg mixture. Combine well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
- Bake for 30 minutes until golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and leave it in the tin for 10 minutes to cool then transfer to a wire-rack.
- Let it cool completely and drizzle with orange icing or dust with icing sugar.
Tips
You can make some orange icing by whisking 1 Tbsp of orange juice with icing sugar to create a pourable mixture and drizzle this on top of the cake.© 2024 Copyright CookTogether
