I refuse to eat a cake that is dry so I make sure all my cake recipes are moist. This Almond and Orange Blossom Drizzle Cake would have to be my most moist because of an orange juice syrup that is drizzled on after cooking.
Use the Cassava or Tapioca flour if your dietary preference is Grain-free or Paleo.
The Ingredients
Blanched Almond Flour or Meal is made from blanched rather than raw almonds so has a lighter, more pleasing colour compared to Almond Meal. Another recipe that uses blanched almond flour is my Almond and Raspberry Roulade.
Cassava is the wholegrain version of Tapioca Flour so is my preference. However, it may be more difficult to find; try a whole food store.
Rapadura Sugar is the pure sugar cane juice, that has simply been heated to evaporate off the water. It has a lower glycemic index, and higher micronutrient content compared to refined cane sugar. It is also called Panela. Click here if you would like to know more about the different types of cane sugar.
Macadamia Nut Oil is my favourite oil for cooking. It was always considered expensive, however, now it is possible to find it for the same price as coconut oil.
Orange Blossom Water is made from distilling Orange Blossoms. It has a unique orange floral scent and flavour. If you don’t think it will tantalise your taste buds, then you can replace it for more orange juice or liqueur.
