Almond Orange Cake Recipe

July 16, 2016 By David Rout 8 Comments

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

The first time I saw someone make this cake, it was like watching a magic trick. Whole oranges into boiling water, “what the …” We were about to defy the laws of nature or at least common sense. This was followed by the anticipation of no idea where this would go next.  Then the final result is a cross between a cake and a pudding, a cake recipe so crazy it works. Needless to say, despite not being an actual bakery type, I have done this several times, and so far, I have had no complaints.

    This looks amazing my question to you is I can’t use sugar can I replace the sugar with Stevia for baking and if so how much can I use?

      Hi Mary,

      Im not sure how well it would work as the sugar or syrup makes it moist. Although it may be a bit of an experiment I would substitute 1:1 with Erythritol and if that is not sweet enough add some Stevia to up the sweetness.

      Good luck,
      Dave

    This looks great. My husband is gluten intolerant and he loves orange and almonds. Would love to surprise him with this. Just one question: what size pan do you use? Thanks Joyce

    This is a great recipe, the whole family loves it. I coat it with chocolate ganache and the combination takes it to a whole new level, thank you for sharing.

    You missed when to add the orange purée in the website recipe! I almost missed it too and It could have been a disaster…
