Gluten and dairy free orange and almond cake from the Mindfulmenu St Agnes

Orange and almond cake recipe

March 6, 2024

Gluten free, dairy free orange and almond cake 

We have teamed up with Mindfulmenu to create this delicious Mothers day cake for you.

The Mindful Menu, St Agnes was set up in spring 2023 by married couple Kirsty and Andi Richardson. 
 
Andi has been a chef for over 20 years. Kirsty has always had a passion for good food and healthy eating but knows the struggle of finding the time to cook whilst working and looking after children, so The Mindful Menu began. 
 
The Mindful Menu provides ‘Food to feel good’ using seasonal, nutritious and locally sourced ingredients. The lunches and daily bakes are freshly prepared each morning in Goonown, St Agnes. The food is sold in The Green Forge refill store and at the Wheal Kitty Kitchen. 
 

Here is the delicious recipe for our Mothers Day Orange and Almond cake

Ingredients

Oil to grease tin
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar

2 large organic oranges
6 organic eggs
250g ground almonds
250g caster sugar
1 tbsp baking powder (make sure this is a GF one)

Method

Boil the oranges until they are soft to touch. This takes around 1hr. Cool, remove any seed and puree. (can be done well in advance of baking the cake)

Grease a 23cm spring form cake tin, coat all the inside with the granulated sugar to give the cake an added crunch.
Preheat the oven to 175 oc.

Beat the eggs and gradually stir in the remaining ingredients.
Pour into the cake tin and cook at 175c for around 1 hour or until the cake is golden brown on the top and a skewer comes out clean.

Take out the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Sprinkle with icing sugar.
Once cooled cut into slices and serve with crème fraiche if desired or edible flowers

Have a lovely Mothers Day!
