Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (200g) superfine almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (170g) honey
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp (6g) fresh orange zest
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) orange zest

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, honey, oil, orange juice, and zest until the mixture is smooth and mahogany-colored.
  3. Stir in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
  4. In a clean, grease-free large bowl, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the almond batter to lighten the mixture.
  6. Carefully fold in the remaining whites using a silicone spatula, moving in a figure-eight motion to avoid deflating the air.
  7. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Whisk together powdered sugar, 1 tbsp orange juice, and 1/2 tsp orange zest to create a glaze, then apply to the cooled cake.
