This soft orange and almond cake is the easy recipe that brightens up winter snacks. Ground almonds add a melt-in-the-mouth texture, while the orange zest and juice delicately flavor the cake. Ideal when you're looking for a quick-to-prepare seasonal dessert, it turns out perfectly without any complicated techniques and is enjoyed by children and adults alike.
When it comes to ingredients, choose organic oranges so you can use the zest without bitterness. You can replace some of the butter with neutral oil for an especially moist result, and add flaked almonds for crunch. This orange cake keeps for 2 to 3 days when well wrapped, and becomes even moister the next day. Served plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with orange syrup, it becomes a winter dessert that is as simple as it is flavorful — perfect for a homemade snack or a light end to a meal.
