Healthy Whole Orange Almond Cake

12/11/2020

0 Comments

 
I was craving the Greek dessert Portokalopita which is drenched in syrup and thought to myself that I have to find a healthier version ! This is the recipe that I discovered.

Talk about a decadent 
yet guilt free dessert!  This Whole Orange Almond Cake is an incredibly healthy breakfast, snack and/or dessert.. Enjoy ! 

prep time: 
1 HR 30 MINS      cook time: 1 HR      total time: 2 HRS 30 MINS           10 servings

Ingredients
  • 2 Organic Navel Oranges (~10" in circumference)
  • 1 cup Egg Whites (fresh, not cartoned)
  • ½ tsp Almond Flavor
  • 192g (2 cups) Almond Flour
  • 120g (1 cup) Oat Flour
  • 192g (1 cup) Granulated Erythritol    or Coconut Sugar 
  • 2 tsp Double-Acting Baking Powder
Instructions
  • Wash the oranges thoroughly then pierce all over with a knife. Place the oranges in a large pot and cover with water. Bring this to a full boil, then lower the heat to medium/low-low and cover. Simmer for ~1 hour (oranges should be very soft and tender), drain and let cool slightly. Cut the oranges into quarters, discard all seeds and puree in a blender.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray an 8" cake pan with cooking spray.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, erythritol and baking powder.
  • In a large bowl, add the orange puree, egg whites and almond flavor.  Whisk well.  Dump the dry ingredients over the wet and fold together. Make sure there are no clumps.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for ~1 hour, or until surface of cake springs back when touched. Cool cake in pan for about 30 minutes, then flip onto a wire cooling rack, leaving pan over top for another 30 minutes. Remove pan and let cool completely. Slice and serve!

Recipe Notes**After pureeing, the oranges should measure 2 cups (465g)
