Orange Almond Cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

Zest the orange into a small bowl, then juice it into a separate bowl. You'll need both.

Step 3

Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes with an electric mixer.

Step 4

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in orange zest and 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice until combined.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder.

Step 7

Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth the top and bake 35–40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Whisk powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons orange juice to make a thin glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
