FULL RECIPE:
Orange Almond Cake | Gluten and Dairy Free!
I'm so excited to present my Gluten and Dairy Free Orange Almond Cake (flourless cake). It's a beautifully light, nutty (gluten free) cake that's not too rich or heavy. I like to call it a wholefood dessert because it utilizes the whole orange - skin, seeds, pith and flesh! Pair it with my Chantilly Cream and it's a match made in heaven! All recipes in metric and US measurements.

RECIPE
275g (2 cups packed) Almond meal (I use blanched (no skins), finely ground)
275g (2 1/4cups) Caster sugar (fine grain white sugar although you can substitute with light brown sugar but it will have a slightly different taste)
2 Large Oranges (boiled)
1 teaspoon Baking powder
6 Eggs
1 Fresh Orange (for 10 half slices)
METHOD
In a saucepan - boil 2 large oranges for 2 hours. Drain off the water and cool completely. This can be done a day ahead!
Blend and puree the oranges and set aside ready for the cake.
Preheat your oven to 180oC or 350oF.
In a stand mixer - cream your sugar and eggs for 5 minutes or until they've thickened and lightened in colour.
Add the orange puree and mix thoroughly.
Add your almond meal and baking powder and mix thoroughly.
Your final mix should resemble a thick pancake batter. Pour into a lined 8 round or 9 round cake tin.
Take the fresh orange you have and half it from stem end to the point (longways). Then slice 10 uber thin half moon slices and arrange those slices evenly over the top of the batter. You may need to give your knife a sharpen before this. See my Insta page for the knife sharpening reel I've done recently. @jillianthefoodie #jillianthefoodie
Bake for 45 min (9 round) or 60 min (8 round) or until the top of the cake has browned slightly. Cool completely then chill overnight or in the freezer for 3 hours prior to unpanning.
Serve with my fluffy Chantilly cream or chocolate and vanilla bean sorbets! Delish! ============================================================

My Spanish Kitchen: Orange Almond Cake
Thousands of years ago, the orange tree was cultivated in southern China and later expanded through the Silk Road throughout Southeast Asia. Its introduction to Europe dates from the time of the Arab presence and the fruit was introduced through the south of the Iberian peninsula. In what is now Spain, especially on the Mediterranean coast, this fruit settled excellently. In fact, nowadays, Valencia is known worldwide for its orange cultivation.
The introduction of the orange in the peninsula was the key for its eventual travels to America. According to records, this fruit was already in the first voyages that took place in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. In what is now the United States, oranges arrived to the city of St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest city in the United States, when Spaniards planted orange trees there in 1565.
The Indigenous peoples in Florida quickly became aware of these trees and began to cultivate them around their villages. By the 18th century, wild orange groves had developed at great speed in the United States. However, it was also the Spaniards, and in this case the missionaries, who introduced the cultivation of oranges to California.
The orange is an international fruit with a long history that unites several continents, and one which undoubtedly also unites Spain and the United States. Learn a new orange-centered recipe, and tell this story to your friends and family.

Desde hace miles de años, en el Sur de China se llevaba a cabo el cultivo del naranjo y posteriormente se expandió a través de la ruta de la Seda por todo el Sudeste asiático. Su introducción en Europa data de tiempos de la presencia árabe quienes introducen el fruto a través del sur de la península ibérica. En lo que ahora es España, especialmente en el litoral mediterráneo, esta fruta se asentó excelentemente. De hecho, la comunidad valenciana es mundialmente conocida a día de hoy por su cultivo de naranjas.
Este arraigo en la península fue clave para que este alimento diera su salto a América. Según los registros de la época, ya en los primeros viajes que se realizaron en los siglos XV y XVI, este fruto era una parte más de las expediciones. En lo que se refiera a su cultivo de manera organizada en lo que hoy es Estados Unidos, se tiene constancia de que los españoles durante el año 1565 plantaron naranjos en la ciudad de San Agustín, en Florida, la ciudad más antigua de lo que es EEUU.
Los nativos se dieron cuenta rápidamente de sus cualidades y comenzaron a cultivarlas alrededor de sus poblados. Ya en el siglo XVIII los naranjales silvestres se habían desarrollado a gran velocidad. También fueron los españoles, en este caso los misioneros, quienes introdujeron el cultivo de naranjas en California.
Hablamos pues de una fruta universal y con una larga historia que une a varios continentes. Y que sin duda, une también a España y Estados Unidos. Así que nada mejor que aprender una nueva receta con naranja para poder contar esta historia con amigos y familiares. No te la pierdas en nuestro nuevo vídeo de My Spanish Kitchen.
