Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cups Coconut flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Orange zest
• 3 tablespoons Fresh orange juice (from a small orange, strained)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free option)
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened (for optional frosting, or use dairy-free cream cheese for non-dairy)
• 0.5 cups Powdered erythritol
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 3 tablespoons Heavy cream (or unsweetened coconut cream for dairy-free frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and sea salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs using an electric mixer until slightly frothy. Add the almond milk, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and melted butter (or coconut oil) and mix until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing.

Step 7

For the optional frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, then beat until light and fluffy.

Step 8

Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and garnish with extra orange zest if desired.

Step 9

Slice into 10 equal servings and enjoy your keto-friendly Zesty Orange Cake!
