Italian Almond Orange Cake

I finally got around to trying this almond cake by Manuela. It required me using this old egg separator that I had and an old (new) juicer. I had requested this juicer from my wedding registry decades ago and this might be the first time or second time I've used it! It is a lovely appliance. We tend to just eat fresh fruit as opposed to juices.  I used a sugar free liquid sweetener along with almond flour for this recipe as well.  It does have the juice of one orange.  The cake bakes up in an oiled spring form pan at 350F for about 40 minutes. My cake took 50 minutes.  It tastes like a pound cake, quite nice.

  2. I had to laugh about your old new juicer. I found one from the 70´s in the street and used it but twice. But it looks so cool I keep it as deco.

  7. It sounds like quite the culinary adventure! Using old kitchen tools for a new recipe adds a special touch to the experience. And making adjustments like using sugar-free sweetener and almond flour showcases your creativity in the kitchen. The end result, a pound cake-like almond cake with a hint of orange, sounds absolutely delicious. It's wonderful to hear about your baking journey and the delightful outcome!

  8. This cake looks great, thanks for the link. I just bought a juicer and am hoping it wasn't an impulse buy but I intend to use it and not keep staring at the box like I have done before! I make a lot of fruit smoothies in my blender and enjoy those.
