Orange-almond cake

You are going to love this cake! It may be the best gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free cake I’ve made so far. It has the perfect texture, moist but not too moist and sweet but not too sweet. I’m definitely making this again.

I know I said that the lemon cake was my favorite but I think I like this one better. I reminds me more of a “real” cake.

I made it yesterday and we had it for Friday night dessert. Leftovers will be eaten by my hubby and his friend who have dedicated their weekend to putting up a new wall in our bedroom. We’re in the middle of a make-over of our house so the twins can get their own rooms. They’re 10 now and since they’re boy/girl, they have quite different needs. So hubby and I are giving up our large bedroom and move into a really small chamber (think Harry Potter under the staircase – almost!) in order to give space to a new kiddy room.

So therefore cake…! Not that we needed an excuse really!
