Gluten Free Almond Orange Bundt Cake Food

GLUTEN FREE ALMOND & ORANGE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 355 ºF (180 ºC) and generously grease a 10-inch bundt pan. (Note 1)
• In a large bowl, cream together butter, vegetable oil and caster sugar until pale and fluffy. (I recommend using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.)
• Add the vanilla extract and orange zest, and mix well.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition.
• Sift together the dry ingredients (gluten free flour, xanthan gum, almond flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda).
• Alternatively add the dry ingredients and the orange juice to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
• Pour the cake batter into the greased bundt pan and bake in the pre-heated oven at 355 ºF (180 ºC) for about 1 hour or until golden on top and an inserted skewer comes out clean. If the top of the bund cake starts browning too quickly, cover it with a piece of aluminium foil during baking.
• Allow to cool, and in the mean time prepare the orange glaze.
• In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice until you get a thick, smooth mixture. You should be able to drizzle it with a spoon, but it shouldn't be too runny. (Better err on the almost-too-thick side.)
• Once cooled, drizzle the bundt cake generously with the orange glaze. As it dries, the glaze will harden slightly, which only makes it more delicious!
• Enjoy!
• The gluten free almond & orange bundt cake keep well in a closed container or wrapped in cling film in a cool dry place for about 3 - 4 days.

ORANGE ALMOND CAKE (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to the boil, add the oranges, cover and simmer for one hour.
• Stain off the water. Cool the oranges. If you are in a hurry, I suggest you partly cool them -- (this will still work).
• While they are cooling, food process the sugar with the eggs until the sugar is dissolved and pour into a bowl.
• Cut the oranges in half and de-seed them and put the oranges (with peel and pith) into a food processor and pulp until reasonably smooth.
• Pour the pulp into the sugar/egg mix and add the almond meal. Gently mix together.
• Pour mix into baking paper lined 24 - 26cm springform tin and bake for 50 - 60 minutes at 185°C.
• Serve with creme fraiche, whipped cream, or vanilla ice-cream -- makes an awesome dessert. You could drizzle a little citrus liqueur around the plate.
• Added thoughts -- This cake DOES NOT need any syrup poured over it.
• NB.Simply double this recipe to get two large cakes. It is just as successful.
• Occasionally, I will add a slurp of Grand Marnier, Contreau, or Galliano; however, try it plain initially.
