GLUTEN FREE ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• You would think to leave making the syrup til last but trust me - DO IT FIRST! In order to get that real gorgeous syrupy thickness, the sugar will take a good while to get to that stage during boiling! Now, to make your syrup, add the orange zest, juice and sugar into a saucepan with 500ml of water and bring slowly to simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cinnamon slowly as you do (personally it's always best to add very little each time, unless you're an ultra lover of cinnamon you do want to catch that tangyness of the orange as well to it!) Turn the heat up briefly to get it boiling, then immediately reduce the heat right down and stir until syrupy.

GLUTEN FREE ORANGE CAKE (SICILIAN WHOLE ORANGE CAKE)

Steps:

• Prepare an 8″ springform pan by spraying with oil (or butter) and lining in parchment paper (sides optional, if you want really clean sides), then spray the paper, too.
• Place the sugar and eggs in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until light and fluffy.
• Mix the gluten free flour with the rice flour, Paneangeli powder (or baking powder) and xanthan gum. Add to the mixture in the bowl a little at a time along with the softened butter. Continue to mix until completely blended, then mix in the softened cream cheese.
• In a food processor, process the whole orange until it is almost pureed.
• Add this orange to the cake mixture and stir until evenly combined, then put the batter into the prepared tin.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes (depending on your oven), but test with a cake tester or skewer to make sure the orange cake is done before removing from the oven. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes, then remove the side of the springform pan.

GLUTEN-FREE ORANGE CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• First, place the oranges in a pot and fill with water. Boil until very soft (1-2 hours). Try to make sure the oranges remain covered with water.
• Drain the water and blitz the oranges until they're like a puree. Put to the side and allow the puree to cool.
• Preheat an oven to 180°C (350°F), also line a 25cm (10 inches) springform pan with baking paper.
• In a mixer, whip together the caster sugar and egg until it's thick and pale.
• Combine the almond meal and bicarb soda, then fold into the egg mixture with the orange mix.
• Pour into the prepared cake tin and place into the preheated oven.
• Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer comes out clean.
• Serve & Enjoy

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.

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.
