Gluten Free olive oil Almond Flour olive oil cake

Instructions

1 In a separate bowl, add almond flour, salt and baking powder. Whisk to combine
and to remove the lumps from the almond flour. Set aside.
2 In stand mixer (can also use a hand mixer), whip up three eggs until frothy.
Next add in sugar and blend until the sugar is combined. Since you do not want
to add too much air, mix on a lower setting.
3 Next, add in vanilla extract, almond extract, and olive oil. For the oranges,
zest the oranges and add in the remaining juice.
4 Now, slowly add in the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Mix on a lower setting
to ensure you do not add in too much air. The mixture should be pretty thick for
cake batter. Not as thick as a cornbread for example, but thicker than the
batter for a box cake.
5 Pour in to a 9 inch springform pan or a regular 9 inch cake pan lined with
parchment paper. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
6 Allow to cool before removing from the cake pan. Note that this cake can easily
stick to the pan, so make sure to allow it to cool and use parchment paper to
help with removing it from the pan.
7 Lightly dust with powdered sugar and serve!
