A slice of this delicately sweet orange and avocado oil cake goes perfectly with a hot cup of tea for an afternoon pick-me-up!

This aromatic and fresh cake smells just like a glass of fresh orange juice. Filled with healthy fats and naturally low-carb, you won’t believe how healthy it actually is!

It’s easy to bring this cake together. First, whisk the orange juice and orange zest, maple syrup, avocado oil and other wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the almond meal, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet, whisking until all the ingredients are mixed.

Pour the batter into a round baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool the cake completely before slicing into a piece of heaven!

Tip: You can also make this cake in a loaf pan and adjust the baking time to 50 minutes.
