Cranberry Orange Olive Oil Cake with Simple Glaze

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1 cup of coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest from 1 large orange
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries (you can use dried if that’s what you have)

Instructions

  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You want it nice and warm for that cake perfection.
  2. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. If you’re feeling fancy, you can also line the bottom with parchment paper.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Make sure it’s well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), olive oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and orange zest until it’s all smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, then gently fold in those beautiful cranberries.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Once it’s done, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cake is coolin’, whip up a simple glaze with powdered sugar and a splash of orange juice. Drizzle that goodness over your cake for an extra touch of sweetness.
  9. Slice it up, serve, and enjoy this beautiful creation that’s sure to wow your family and friends!
