Method

  1. Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch (20 cm) round pan. Zest the orange into the date syrup and rub it together, then whisk in the egg, yogurt and oil.
  2. Fold in both flours and the baking powder with the juice of the orange, spread it thin in the pan and scatter the sliced almonds over.
  3. Bake 22-25 minutes, until golden and a skewer comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in the pan.
Chef’s tipRub the orange zest into the syrup with your fingers before anything else; it drives the oil out of the zest and through the whole cake.
KeepKeeps 4 days chilled. Freezes 2 months. Warm from frozen in a 160°C (325°F) oven for 8 minutes.
SwapNo almond flour? The same weight of whole wheat flour; the cake is firmer.
