Who else loves the combo of chocolate & orange? The whole orange cake is wonderful by itself, but chocolate ganache puts it over the edge…. 🍫🍊🍰🤤

Whether we credit this recipe to Claudia Rosen (the OG that first made it with whole oranges) or to Nigella Lawson (who made it beyond famous & used whole clementine), this is a beautiful gluten-free/grain-free recipe that’s perfect for fall/winter.

I happen to have oranges so we’re going with Claudia’s version this time, but adding our own twist (as well as a pinch of salt to the batter, and swapping some white sugar for allulose), skipping the orange cooking step, and adding a chocolate ganache & some orange zest to finish it off.

Or skip the ganache, and top with some sliced almonds for a more traditional version.

🍊🍰Cake

1 medium orange or 2 clementines

3 large eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla

125g almond flour

125g granulated sweetener of choice (I used half organic cane sugar and half allulose)

1/2 tsp baking powder

Pinch sea salt

🍫Ganache

50g dark chocolate of choice

2 tbsp coconut milk
