🍊 James Martin Orange And Almond Cake Ingredients

• Unsalted butter, for greasing
• 4 large eggs, separated and at room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened plain almond milk
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 1/2 cups finely ground blanched almond flour
• 1/2 cup raw (skin-on) sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

🥧 How To Make James Martin Orange And Almond Cake

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread butter on the sides and bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, and then line the pan’s base with a circle of parchment paper. Put aside.
2. Whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks in a bowl with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 3 minutes.
3. Incorporate the almond extract, milk, zest, salt, and salt by beating well. Put in a large bowl and add the almond flour by folding.
4. Thoroughly wash and dry the bowl and whisk off the mixer. Transfer the egg whites to the clean bowl and, using a mixer set to medium speed, whip until glossy peaks form.
5. Combine the yolks and whites, then fold in one-third of the beaten egg whites. Stir in the other two-thirds of the egg whites until just mixed.
6. Pour the mixture into the springform pan and use an offset spatula to level it out. Add the sliced almonds on top and place on a sheet pan.
7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the springform pan to cool on a wire rack.
8. Carefully loosen the pan’s edges, then use an offset spatula to loosen the springform bottom.
9. Gently peel off the parchment and transfer the cake to a cake plate. Alternately, flip the cake onto a plate, remove the parchment, and invert it again onto a cake plate; this method may result in some almond remnants.
10. Mix the ginger, cinnamon, and confectioners’ sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spiced sugar mixture over the cake before serving.
