Orange Almond Cake Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. Bake: 15 min. + cooling
  • Yield: 4 Servings
25 15 40

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1/2 teaspoon plus 4 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup ground almonds, toasted
  • 1/4 teaspoon confectioners' sugar

Directions

  • Place egg whites in small bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Coat a 6-in. round baking pan with cooking spray and sprinkle bottom and sides with 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Line pan with waxed paper and coat the paper; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, beat egg yolks for 2 minutes. Gradually beat in 2 tablespoons sugar. Add the orange peel, cloves and salt; beat 1 minute longer. Stir in almonds.
  • With clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form. Stir a third of egg white mixture into almond mixture. Gradually fold in remaining egg whites. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
  • Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Gently remove waxed paper. Cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 4 servings.
