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
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You want it nice and warm for that cake perfection.
- Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. If you’re feeling fancy, you can also line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Make sure it’s well combined.
- 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.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, then gently fold in those beautiful cranberries.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Slice it up, serve, and enjoy this beautiful creation that’s sure to wow your family and friends!
