Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted, coarsely crumbled
Powdered sugar, for sifting
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
3/4 teaspoon orange blossom water, optional
3 oranges, segmented
2 pink grapefruits, segmented

Steps:

  • To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil an 8-inch-diameter cake pan. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, eggs, and zests in a large bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in the milk. Gradually beat in the oil. Add the flour mixture and stir just until blended. Stir in the almonds. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Place cake pan on baking pan to collect any possible spills. Bake until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool for 15 minutes. Remove cake and place on serving platter, top side up. Sift powdered sugar over the cake.
  • To make the citrus compote: Stir the orange peel, blossom water, and 2 tablespoons of accumulated juices from the segmented fruit in a small bowl to blend. Arrange the orange and grapefruit segments decoratively in a wide shallow bowl. Pour the blossom water mixture over. Cover and let stand 15 minutes for the flavors to blend.
  • Cut the cake into wedges and spoon the citrus compote alongside.

My cake didn't turn out quite like the picture. It was a bit too brown and the texture was a little dense. However, the flavor was still good.

I had high hopes for this cake, but it turned out to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more orange or lemon zest.

I found this cake to be a little too dry for my taste. I think it would have been better with some kind of glaze or frosting.

I've never been a huge fan of citrus desserts, but this cake changed my mind. The orange and lemon flavors paired perfectly with the nutty flavor of the almond flour. I'll be making this again!

This was an excellent recipe! My cake turned out beautifully moist and flavorful. The crust was crispy, and the filling had a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. I received many compliments from family who ate it!
