Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons orange zest
• 0.5 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
• 0.25 cups honey
• 0.25 cups melted coconut oil
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a round 8-inch cake pan with coconut oil. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk together until well combined and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, orange zest, orange juice, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with additional orange zest or a dusting of coconut flour for a decorative touch.
