Ingredients
Orange layer
- 4-5 oranges thinly sliced into rounds
- Coconut oil for greasing pan
Dry ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 3/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
- 3 pinches pure monk fruit extract
- 1/2 tsp. pink salt
- 1 tsp. orange zest
Wet ingredients
- 4 organic free-range eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
- 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- 3 Tbsp. liquefied coconut oil
Instructions
-
Preheat oven 350 degrees F. Grease 6-in. pan with coconut oil. Arrange orange rounds to cover the entire bottom of the pan in a flat layer. Tip: Pull apart one ring to fill in any empty spaces with smaller wedges. Reserve any unused orange pieces for cake batter.
-
To make cake batter, in large bowl combine all dry ingredients and mix well until thoroughly combined. Add wet ingredients and mix well until completely incorporated.
-
Pour batter over orange slices. It will be a little thick, so use a spatula to press it down and make sure it reaches the edges of the pan.
-
Bake 30-32 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before removing from pan. Flip it over directly onto serving tray.
