Orange Almond Cake Gluten Free
I have tried many citrus cakes and finally found one that is awesome in texture and flavour. This is the most amazing, simple, foolproof cake. I have made it many, many times, and it has never failed. Sometimes i use lemons, or limes and weigh them to ensure they equal the orange volume/weights. I used it as a gluten free option at our daughter's wedding along with her wedding cake. Enjoy!!! Kiwi trish

Added thoughts -- this cake does not need any syrup poured over it.

Simply double this recipe to get two large cakes.
It is just as successful.
Occasionally , i will add a slurp of grand marnier , contreau , or galliano.
