This is similar to the recipe my friend Judy of
Divina Cucina and I made in Italy last year. I have taken the liberty of changing Judy's recipe. I wanted to make it a gluten free cake . . . without loosing any of the flavor.
It worked ~ This is awesome!
Citrus Olive Oil Cake2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
2 oranges (you will use the whole thing)
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup flour (I used gluten free tapioca flour)
1 Tbs baking powder
Dice the oranges into quarters and remove the seeds. With an immersion blender, grind the oranges and almonds to a pulp. Add eggs and sugar and whisk together till well combined. Add olive oil, stirring until smooth. Stir in flour and baking powder. The batter will be slightly lumpy with bits of orange peel. Pour into a greased 8" bundt or round cake pan.
Bake at 350° for 45 minutes.
Cool in pan for 5 minutes then turn out onto wire rack. Serve with berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
My sister has become totally gluten free . . . This southern girl is not totally there yet.
She is starting to look like the younger sister ~ Maybe I need to work on it !
With a snack like this . . . We all can be Gluten Free!
Y'all enjoy~
