-
Pulse in eggs, honey, almond flour, salt, and baking soda until well combined
-
Pour batter into a greased 9 inch springform pan
-
Bake at 375°F for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean

The idea for this easy grain-free cake recipe came from one of my favorite cookbook authors, Claudia Roden. Her recipe is called Gateau a l’Orange. Nigella Lawson also has a a citrus cake recipe using fruit and peel made with clementines.
