Gluten Free Orange Almond Cake With Orange Sauce Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE ORANGE ALMOND CAKE WITH ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10 inch springform pan with cooking spray, and dust with rice flour.
• In a large bowl, whip egg yolks with 2/3 cup of sugar until thick and pale using an electric mixer. This will take about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice flour and orange juice, then fold in the almond meal and cinnamon.
• In a separate glass or metal bowl, whip 3 egg whites until they can hold a stiff peak. Fold into the almond mixture until well blended. Pour into the prepared pan, and spread evenly.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Run a knife around the outer edge of the cake to help remove it from the pan.
• To make the orange sauce, cream together the butter and 2 cups of white sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in the cream, and place the dish over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir in orange juice and zest. Whip 4 egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Fold into the orange sauce. Spoon over the cake and serve immediately.

ORANGE ALMOND CAKE (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to the boil, add the oranges, cover and simmer for one hour.
• Stain off the water. Cool the oranges. If you are in a hurry, I suggest you partly cool them -- (this will still work).
• While they are cooling, food process the sugar with the eggs until the sugar is dissolved and pour into a bowl.
• Cut the oranges in half and de-seed them and put the oranges (with peel and pith) into a food processor and pulp until reasonably smooth.
• Pour the pulp into the sugar/egg mix and add the almond meal. Gently mix together.
• Pour mix into baking paper lined 24 - 26cm springform tin and bake for 50 - 60 minutes at 185°C.
• Serve with creme fraiche, whipped cream, or vanilla ice-cream -- makes an awesome dessert. You could drizzle a little citrus liqueur around the plate.
• Added thoughts -- This cake DOES NOT need any syrup poured over it.
• NB.Simply double this recipe to get two large cakes. It is just as successful.
• Occasionally, I will add a slurp of Grand Marnier, Contreau, or Galliano; however, try it plain initially.

• Place the sugar and eggs in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until light and fluffy.
• Mix the gluten free flour with the rice flour, Paneangeli powder (or baking powder) and xanthan gum. Add to the mixture in the bowl a little at a time along with the softened butter. Continue to mix until completely blended, then mix in the softened cream cheese.
• In a food processor, process the whole orange until it is almost pureed.
• Add this orange to the cake mixture and stir until evenly combined, then put the batter into the prepared tin.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes (depending on your oven), but test with a cake tester or skewer to make sure the orange cake is done before removing from the oven. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes, then remove the side of the springform pan.
