Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easier removal later.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the ground almonds, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
-
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar if desired for a decorative finish.
