This orange and almond cake is the easy recipe that brightens up winter snacks. Almond powder provides a melting texture, while the orange zest and juice delicately flavor the cake. Ideal when looking for a quick seasonal dessert to prepare, it succeeds without complicated technique and pleases both children and adults.
Regarding ingredients, choose organic oranges to be able to use the zest without bitterness. You can replace part of the butter with neutral oil for a very soft result, and add sliced almonds for crunch. This orange cake keeps for 2 to 3 days well wrapped, and even gains softness the next day. Served plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with an orange syrup, it becomes a winter dessert as simple as it is flavorful — perfect for a homemade snack or a light end to a meal.
