Cranberry orange cake

A dense, tangy cake with cranberries and orange, great for cold weather.

Rico's note: It's worth keeping a bag of cranberries in the freezer just for this cake. It's tangy and dense, great for cutting into thin slices and taking to work.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsweetened dried cranberries, or fresh/frozen (60 g / 2 oz)
  • 2 cups almond flour (192 g / 7 oz)
  • ½ cup coconut flour (56 g / 2 oz)
  • ½ cup sugar (100 g / 3½ oz) — no added sugar: ¾ cup erythritol (150 g)
  • 1 orange, zest only (3 g)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (12 g)
  • 4 eggs (200 g / 7 oz)
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil (67 g / 2¼ oz)
  • ¼ cup orange juice (60 g / 2 oz)
  • ¼ cup almond milk (60 g / 2 oz)

In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and grease a cake pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix the flours, sugar and baking powder.
