orange almond cake & gluten-free

Oranges are one of the most celebrated fruits in the Mediterranean during the long citrus season bowls. Bowls of fresh fruit like these are always on the table within easy reach for a quick snack but to really celebrate the season it’s nice to have a light almond cake on hand decorated with beautiful Mediterranean colors and flavors like oranges and pomegranates.

This healthy Mediterranean dessert with whole oranges is loaded with the healthy benefits of whole oranges, protein-packed with almonds, eggs and yogurt and made even better for you with the antioxidant powers of extra virgin olive oil in the batter and crunchy, juicy, flavorful pomegranate seeds decorating the top. What a healthy way to have your cake and eat it too!
