Soft cake with oranges and almonds
A few days ago I found this recipe in the newspaper La Repubblica, in a Coop advertisement. It immediately inspired me for the ingredients and for the not too large size. I followed the recipe to the letter, excluding only the fresh orange zest. I had a spectacular homemade orange marmalade made by my friend Stefania Milani.

INGREDIENTS

High hinged cake pan 22cm diameter

200g peeled almonds

170g flour 0

179g granulated sugar

150g peanut oil

220g fresh cream

3 eggs

1 pinch of salt

8g baking powder

90g orange jam

The peel of 1 untreated orange

icing sugar for the decoration

METHOD

Turn on the convection oven at 180 degrees and bring it to temperature.

Put the almonds in a blade mixer until they are reduced to flour. Beat the egg whites with the sugar and a pinch of salt, add the yolks and finish whipping. Blending slowly, add the oil then the cream.

Add the jam and the zestas.

With a spatula incorporate the flour with the baking powder, sifted. Then add the almond flour.

Pour into a mold with the bottom lined with baking paper and buttered sides. Put in the oven at 180 degrees and cook for 45 minutes. Before taking out the oven, test it with a toothpick to see if cooking is complete.

Once out of the oven, wait a quarter of an hour to remove from the oven and cool upside down on a rack. Once at room temperature, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

CONSIDERATIONS

Light, delicate and fragrant sweet. Great with orange marmalade but I'm sure it could be perfect using any other marmalade. It could be the right dessert to finish a jam or to use those we don't eat.
