Orange Flourless Cake By Pierrick Boyer
The Orange Flourless Cake is a gluten-free cake that is bursting with the citrusy flavour of oranges. The use of whole-boiled oranges adds a unique depth of flavour to the cake and the almond meal makes it moist and rich. The recipe requires some patience, as the oranges need to be boiled for 2 hours and then processed into a paste, but the end result is definitely worth it. The cake is perfect for those who are looking for a light yet indulgent dessert.
