keto (almost) orange with chocolate cake recipe

Flourless Orange Chocolate and almond cake

2 oranges

100 grams Brown or which sugar plus a couple of sweeteners

6 medium eggs

40 grams of pure cocoa powder

60 grams of almond flour

120 grams buckwheat flour

30 grams coconut flour or shredded coconut. Flour is better

one and a half teaspoons of baking powder

(you can use all buckwheat flour plus cocoa plus coconut. Almond flour not essential)

Boil oranges gently for about an hour. Leave to cool and keep liquid to one side.

Blend 6 eggs with sugar and sweeteners in the food processor until light in colour

Cut oranges in half and discard any pips and cut into chunks

Add oranges to eggs and blend for 30 seconds

Add all other dry ingredients and blend another 45 seconds. If very dry add some orange water

Pour into one lined cake tin or a couple of lined bread tins or small moulds

Bake at 160C to 170C for about 60 minutes if using a large cake tin. Less for smaller moulds.

Check after 50 minutes. Internal temp should be 95C or using a wooden toothpick it should be clean.

Mine has never taken more than 60 minutes.

We like it chilled and served with some type of cream. Maybe some fruit coulis like raspberry is good too.

Great cake , gluten free as well. Got any more suggestions?

Ian, this is our star recipe. Everything we eat is very low carb and tasty, plenty of fresh green veg, olive oil, fish, meat in moderation. We forage so mushrooms, berries and nuts when we can get them. It's very much a N=1 approach or should I say N=2. Enjoy the recipe we have played around with it, used lemons and grapefruit in the past and added chillies and fresh ginger grated it's pretty good anywhich way!!

That looks yummy, going to try it. Thanks.

We do one that's called "keto chocolate cake in a mug", it's on youtube, takes about 2 minutes to prepare and one minute to cook in the microwave, and again yummy and great with some full-fat cream or full-fat greek yogurt.
