Description
A delightful and moist flourless cake made with oranges, pistachios, and almonds, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium oranges (about 10 ounces)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup ground almonds (almond flour)
- 1 cup ground pistachios
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Place the whole oranges in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 1 hour until the oranges are soft. Drain and let them cool.
- Once cooled, cut the oranges in half and remove any seeds. Place the entire oranges (peel included) into a food processor and blend until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the pureed oranges, ground almonds, ground pistachios, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider incorporating a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon into the batter.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert twist.
