Orange Almond Cake is a moist and soft cake with a burst of citrus flavor. It is very delicate and tender with the goodness of Almonds and Orange together.
Along with them add 1.25 cups of Almond Meal or Almond flour.
Next add 2 tsp of Baking powder, ½ tsp of Baking Soda, and ¼ tsp of Salt.
Next add in 10 tbsp of Sugar. I am adding powdered Sugar. Combine everything and set aside.
In another mixing bowl add ⅓ cup of Orange Juice.
To this add ½ cup Butter Milk. Check my blog post on how to prepare your own buttermilk for cakes.
Add 1 tsp of Vanilla essence.
Add ½ cup of any Flavorless oil.
Add 2 tsp of fresh Orange zest.
Whisk and combine everything together for even mixing.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in batches. Fold and mix with a spatula. don't overmix.
Grease a 9 or 8 inch round round baking tin and line it with parchment paper. Pour the cake batter into the tin and tap it twice or thrice. Place some sliced Almond Flakes on top of the cake or any nuts as you prefer.
Preheat the oven at 356 F for 10 mins and then bake the cake at 356 F for 25 to 30 mins. Or till a toothpick when inserted comes out clean. Let the cool sit for 15 mins and then remove from the baking tin by running a knife through the edges. Allow the cake to cool completely and then slice the serve. The cake is very soft, so make sure you cool and then cut.
