Ingredients

Scale

Essential Ingredients

  • 200g Almond Flour: Adds a moist, slightly nutty texture that complements the orange.
  • 50g Cocoa Powder: Brings a deep chocolate flavor; choose high-quality cocoa for best results.
  • 3 Large Eggs: Adds structure and ensures a soft, fluffy cake.
  • 150g Caster Sugar: Sweetens the cake without overpowering the chocolate or orange flavors.
  • 100g Unsalted Butter (melted): Adds richness and keeps the cake moist.
  • Zest and Juice of 1 Large Orange: Fresh orange zest and juice provide vibrant flavor.
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder: Ensures the cake rises well and stays fluffy.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract: Enhances both the chocolate and orange flavors.

Optional Ingredients

  • Dark Chocolate Chips or Chunks: Add extra chocolate pieces for added texture.
  • Chocolate Ganache or Icing Sugar for Dusting: Perfect for an elegant finish.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the cake pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugar, whisking until light and airy. Add in the melted butter, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together almond flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to remove any lumps.
  4. Mix the Batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Fold in any optional chocolate chips or chunks at this stage.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack. Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with a chocolate ganache for added indulgence.
