    HOW TO MAKE

    Making this flourless orange almond cake involves a couple of simple steps.

    Then you pour into a lined round baking pan. You could also use a square baking tin or any shape you desire around the 20-23cm size.

    Then place the flaked almonds on top. You can make up any pretty design you like here. I would love to see your creations of what you went with.

    Then place in the oven and cook for 35 minutes

    Super easy hey!!

    You can eat it this cake on its own or you could drizzle some paleo lemon curd over the top.

    TIPS & FAQS

    Can I use eggs straight from the fridge?

    It is best to use room temperature eggs to make this cake and baked goods. The mixture will mix more evenly and you will get more volume. If you are ever wondering why your baked desserts look flat then this could be the reason.

    How long can I store this cake for?

    You can store this cake in your fridge for up to 5 days or in your freezer for 3 months when stored in an air-tight container.
