Gluten Free Orange Cake With Almond Flour Food

UPSIDE-DOWN ORANGE-ALMOND CAKE (GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• For the oranges: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper; butter the parchment.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar, honey and salt and cook until the sugar has melted and turned golden brown, swirling the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully transfer the mixture to the prepared cake pan.
• Cut the top and bottom off of each orange. Then cut the skin and pith off of each orange by slicing from top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit. Slice the oranges into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Layer the rounds on top of the caramel in the cake pan. Set aside.
• For the cake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. In another medium bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg yolks and vanilla. Add the almond flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat to combine. The batter will be stiff.
• In a clean bowl with clean beaters, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until they form medium-stiff peaks, about 2 minutes. Stir in about a third of the egg whites into the almond mixture to loosen it, then gently fold in the remaining whites. Transfer the batter to the pan with the oranges and smooth the top. Bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 40 to 45 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Carefully flip the cake onto a serving plate. Serve warm or room temperature.

GLUTEN FREE ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 170 C (340 F) standard / 150 C (300 F) fan-forced. Grease and line a 9 by 5 loaf pan with baking or parchment paper, ensuring two sides overhang.
• In a large mixing bowl, add butter, sugar and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined and then turn speed up to medium and beat for a further 1-2 minutes or until butter turns pale, creamy and almost fluffy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, and beat briefly to combine - don't worry if the mixture goes a little bit lumpy at this stage - then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add flour, almond meal, baking powder, salt and orange zest. Start to mix together on a low speed. Add orange juice and milk. Continue to mix until the cake batter is smooth and creamy (but try not to over mix).
• Pour cake batter into your prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for approximately 60-65 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. If your cake is very brown after 55 minutes, loosely cover the top with aluminum foil.

GLUTEN-FREE ORANGE ALMOND CAKE WITH ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10 inch springform pan with cooking spray, and dust with rice flour.
• In a large bowl, whip egg yolks with 2/3 cup of sugar until thick and pale using an electric mixer. This will take about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice flour and orange juice, then fold in the almond meal and cinnamon.
• In a separate glass or metal bowl, whip 3 egg whites until they can hold a stiff peak. Fold into the almond mixture until well blended. Pour into the prepared pan, and spread evenly.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Run a knife around the outer edge of the cake to help remove it from the pan.
• To make the orange sauce, cream together the butter and 2 cups of white sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in the cream, and place the dish over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir in orange juice and zest. Whip 4 egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Fold into the orange sauce. Spoon over the cake and serve immediately.
