Whole orange cake
Made with the whole orange, peel and all, for an intense flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 whole orange, washed, seeded and with the white pith removed (200 g / 7 oz)
- 3 eggs (150 g / 5½ oz)
- ½ cup coconut oil (100 g / 3½ oz)
- ⅔ cup sugar (135 g / 5 oz) — no added sugar: ¾ cup xylitol (or erythritol) (135 g)
- 1½ cups rice flour (237 g / 8½ oz)
- ½ cup sweet cassava starch, polvilho doce (60 g / 2 oz)
- 1 tbsp baking powder (12 g)
In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect. Keep it away from dogs: xylitol is toxic to them.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and grease a tube pan.
- Wash the orange well, cut it into quarters and remove the seeds and the white pith in the center, which is bitter.
