Directions

  1. Place orange in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until orange is soft, about 30 minutes. Drain.

  2. Cut orange into chunks and discard seeds.

  3. Mix almond flour with 2 tablespoons sugar.

  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch cake pan and coat the pan with a handful of the almond-sugar mixture.

  5. Combine orange chunks and 1 cup sugar in a food processor, pulse until pureed. Add almond flour mixture and butter, process until smooth. Add eggs, mix until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, process until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
