A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350℉ and line the bottom of a circular baking pan with parchment paper. This is a must or else the cake could stick! You can also opt to grease the edges of the pan if you’d like.
- In a bowl, combine egg yolks and sugar by using a hand mixer and mixing on high for 2 minutes. The mixture should become thick and creamy.
- Then, beat in orange zest, orange juice and olive oil until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour and baking powder. Once combined, use a spoon to mix it together with the sugar/egg yolk mixture.
- Wash and dry your mixer attachments, then in a separate bowl beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold in the egg whites to the almond flour batter one heaping spoonful at a time. Do this step gently, and be sure to fold the batter until no white streaks remain.
- Spread the batter into the baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once finished, allow the cake to cool to room temperature, then run a knife around the edge of the cake to help remove it from the pan.
- Garnish the cake with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and slivered almonds or frost with vanilla buttercream.
Does this recipe make one or two round cakes? In the photos the cake has two layers but the recipe says to only line one pan? 😊 looks delicious and I would love to make it.
I doubled the recipe for the photos! 🙂
