GF Orange Almond Cake

Orange Almond Cake

REAL FOOD FRIDAY

I came up with this very simple, easy and delicious one-bowl cake a few weeks ago (April 2013) and have since created variations of “Orange Chocolate Cake” and “Carrot Cake with Nuts and Seeds”.

It’s a winner!

The whole family loves this little beauty. It’s moist, satisfying and best when served warm.

Best bit is it’s gluten and dairy free, and sweetened with nutritious coconut sugar!

Enjoy
