Flourless Orange & Almond Cake Gluten Free – 5 ingredients
Always a crowd-pleaser my moist gluten-free orange and almond cake. So simple with only 5 ingredients ground almonds, whole oranges, sugar, eggs and baking powder. An old recipe that I haven't made in a while. Easy to whip up, simple, light and zingy. I would recommend preparing the oranges the day before you are wanting to bake it. I love this served with ice cream, yoghurt or even plain with a cuppa or coffee.
