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 seasonal dessert that is quick to prepare, it succeeds without complicated techniques and is enjoyed by both children and adults.
For the ingredients, choose organic oranges so you can 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 well for 2 to 3 days when 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.
